Further
Bureau Intrigue. In the murder cases of DNC staffer Seth Rich and DHS whistleblower
Philip Haney, the FBI announced no suspects and mounted no manhunts. In both cases the FBI
grabbed the victims' devices and materials but never announced what they contained. If
anybody thought that was withholding evidence it would be hard to blame them. The bureau
failed to prevent the terrorist attack on 9/11, at Fort Hood (2009), the Boston Marathon (2013),
San Bernardino (2015) and Orlando in 2016, all with massive loss of life, and the FBI played no
role in the takedown of the terrorists. In 2016, the FBI launched covert operations Midyear
Exam and Crossfire Hurricane against candidate and President Trump. In 2017, the FBI failed
to prevent the attack on congressional Republicans by "strongly anti-Trump" James Hodgkinson, in
which Steve Scalise was nearly killed. In 2022 the FBI mounted an armed raid on Trump's
Mar-a-Lago home. In 2023, the FBI made Jeffrey Veltri head of the Miami field office.
In 2024, the bureau failed to prevent known criminal Ryan Routh from traveling thousands of miles
and setting up a sniper's nest at the Palm Beach golf course where the former president was
playing. This is not the man, or the agency, to investigate the second attempt to assassinate
Donald Trump. By now it should be clear who has the strongest motive to kill him.
After
The Last Seven Years, No One Believes The DOJ Is Acting In Good Faith. Mollie
Hemingway: ["]The larger context here is so important. I do think people would have be
enwilling to hear from the Department of Justice that they need to indict their top political
opponent, and hear that in good faith, if we had not experienced what we have from the past six
years from this Department of Justice. We have a Department of Justice that had Hillary
Clinton, who was never president and will never be a president, mishandling classified information
and they invented a new legal standard to simply to let her go. We have all the paperwork
disputes with President Obama, and President Clinton, we have thefts of documents from the National
Archives by a Clinton associate, and nothing has happened to those people. We have the
Russia-gate collusion-hoax in which the Department of Justice invented and participated in a
Democrat-invented conspiracy theory see to say Donald Trump was a traitor. This week, we
learned that Joe Biden was credibly accused by a very serious whistleblower of a $ million bribery
scheme and the FBI worked to cover it up.["]
The
FBI Is Not What It Used to Be. Many retired agents admit to being embarrassed and ashamed of what the bureau
has become. When it comes to preventing crime, the FBI has dropped the ball far too many times. The FBI had
credible warnings about the attack on 9/11, the Pulse Nightclub slaughter, the San Bernadino shooting, the Parkland school
shooting, and even the Boston Marathon bombing. Yet somehow failed to take preventive action. They're no longer
our guardians against public corruption either. They gave Hillary Clinton a pass for her email transgressions.
They did an investigation in name only, that lasted months. Oddly, the FBI never served any subpoenas. The bureau
even destroyed the evidence at the conclusion of the investigation. It's almost as if they didn't really want to find
anything — no? Hillary Clinton, in collusion with the DNC, orchestrated the dirtiest trick in U.S. political
history — the fabricated Trump/Russian collusion tale. The FBI learned within two months that the whole
thing was a setup. Yet they played along with the plan for three years — even to the point of affecting the
2018 midterm election. Their investigation became the famous "insurance policy" against the Trump Presidency.
Rather than ferreting out corruption, the FBI became enthusiastic participants.
How
Many Times Are We Going to Let the FBI and DOJ Break the Law? [Scroll down] Look at what the FBI did to
Richard Jewell, in the wake of the Centennial Park Bombing, despite having zero evidence of any wrongdoing. In fact,
the entirety of what linked Jewell to the bombing was geographic proximity and a single FBI profiler's opinion. That's
it. We found out from the 9/11 Commission Report that the FBI was responsible for some of the breakdown in
communication that could have potentially helped to stop several of the hijackers leading up to the attacks. Remember,
Zacarias Moussaoui, sometimes referred to as the 20th hijacker, was picked up by the FBI in August 2001, but was not linked
to the other hijackers until after the 9/11 attacks. Yet it doesn't stop there. The FBI had contacted and/or
investigated the Tsarnaev Brothers — perpetrators of the Boston Bombing in 2013, Syed Farook and Tashfeen
Malik — perpetrators of the San Bernardino Shooting in 2015, and Omar Mateen — perpetrator of the Pulse
Nightclub shooting in 2016, all before any of those crimes were committed. Even after crimes are committed, the FBI
(and by extension, the DOJ) seem completely incapable of securing evidence of a motive or how the perpetrators had committed
the crimes. In the case of Stephen Paddock, the entirety of our domestic federal law enforcement power couldn't figure
out how a guy, or better yet, why a guy got an armory into a tower room at the Mandalay Bay and murdered and injured hundreds.
The
Continued American Awakening of The FBI as an Official Enforcement Mechanism of The Fourth Branch of
Government. The FBI was fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, before they executed
their plot. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew about the San Bernardino terrorists, specifically Tasfeen Malik,
and were monitoring her phone calls and communications before her and Syed Farook executed their attack killing 14 people and
leaving 22 others seriously injured. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad
Alissa before he executed his attack. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub
shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino
Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by
Russians. The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the
Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa.
The FBI took no action. Consider the case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil in Garland, Texas in 2015.
The FBI not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, the FBI took the shooters to the venue and
were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire. Yes, you read that correctly — the
FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold.
Let's
Take the FBI at Their Word. [Scroll down] Larry Nassar raped hundreds of teenage girls, the FBI took no
action; however, they did apologize. The FBI was fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers,
before they executed their plot. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew about the San Bernardino terrorists,
specifically Tasfeen Malik, and were monitoring her phone calls and communications before her and Syed Farook executed their
attack killing 14 people and 22 others were seriously injured. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew Colorado
grocery store shooter Ahmad Alissa before he executed his attack. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew in advance
of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the
San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers)
tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in
advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi
Alissa. The FBI took no action. Consider the case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil in Garland,
Texas in 2015. The FBI not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, the FBI took the shooters to
the venue and were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire. Yes, you read that correctly —
the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold. [...] Or more recently, the goofball plot to kidnap Gretchen
Whitmer that involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI as the plot was hatched? And we cannot
forget the January 6th DC protest turned insurrection effort, which is clearly looking like an FBI inspired and coordinated effort.
Have we forgotten the Atlanta "Olympic Park Bombing", and the FBI intentionally setting up transparently innocent, Richard
Jewel? [...] And of course, the FBI still had 13 extra agents available to rush to a NASCAR racetrack to investigate a garage door
pull-down rope that might have been perceived as a noose; but the serial rape of hundreds of teenage girls, eh, not-so-much
effort — even when they are standing in front of the FBI begging for help. [...] Let me be very clear with another
brutally obvious example. Antifa could not exist as an organization, capable to organize and carry out violent attacks
against their targets, without the full support of the FBI. [...] The FBI is not a law enforcement or investigative division
of the U.S. Department of Justice. The FBI is a political weapon of a larger institution that is now focused almost
entirely toward supporting a radical communist agenda to destroy civil society in the United States.
Timely news and commentary:
Note: Almost all the discussion of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump is now accumulating
on a page of its own, located here.
Donald
Trump Is About to Go Nuclear on the FBI. President-elect Donald J. Trump is gearing
up to go nuclear on the FBI and Justice Department, and who can blame him? After years of
relentless targeting, capped off with a federal raid on his home in a blatant attempt to torpedo
his 2024 campaign, Trump emerged victorious. Now it's his turn to strike back. The
gloves are off, and the days of tolerating the FBI's overreach are over. Trump reportedly
plans to bypass the FBI's compromised background checks altogether, issuing security clearances to
his appointees on his own authority. This scorched-earth approach sends a clear message: the
Biden DOJ's partisan games are finished. With his team in place, Trump is ready to dismantle
the Democratic Party's stronghold on the FBI, beginning the long-overdue process of restoring
integrity to the nation's top law enforcement agencies.
Trump
Gives a Massive Middle Finger to the FBI. President-elect Donald J. Trump isn't
buying into the FBI's games, nor should he. The Justice Department has targeted the man and
has gone multiple rounds with its lawyers, including a federal raid on his home — all of
which was to derail his 2024 candidacy. But he won the election. He's in charge, and I
hope he takes a baseball bat to the J. Edgar Hoover Building. And yes, no appointee should
subject themselves to an FBI background check for security clearances until he's sworn in and gets
his people to run the show. The Biden DOJ cannot be trusted. In a massive middle finger
to the bureau, Trump is going to give every appointee a security clearance until his appointees can
be reined in and begin the process of cleaning house at the FBI, which has devolved into the
Democrats' political police force.
Terrorist
threat: The FBI and DHS clam up. Shortly after the October 7, 2023 massacre
in Israel, FBI Director Christopher Wray appeared before Congress and issued a general warning that
the threat of terrorist attacks in America has never been so high. He has since repeatedly
issued the same warning, but has always avoided directly attributing that threat level to our
wide-open borders. [...] The FBI has long claimed the real dangers to national security are
"domestic terrorists" — anyone who disagrees with Harris/Biden policy — our
military members — active duty and veterans — Trump supporters and the
religious. [...] Mayorkas? He's surely trying to avoid being embarrassed and prosecuted, and
we already know the man who has always maintained the border is "secure" and "closed" is a liar.
Certainly, they're trying to distract the public and Congress as they destroy evidence.
Classifying government incompetence, malfeasance and crimes is a time-honored practice.
Thus the Harris/Biden Administration ends, not with a bang but with the whir of a shredder.
Inverse astroturf: False Heroes:
Why the FBI's 'Terror Victories' Are Nothing More Than Tragic Manipulations. In
recent years, the FBI has become increasingly skilled not at capturing the masterminds of terror
but at fabricating their own foes, preying on the vulnerable, the mentally ill, and the socially
isolated. What once was a proud institution tasked with the safeguarding of the Republic now
finds itself busying thousands of its agents not with countering sophisticated threats to the
nation but in entrapping men who, left to their own devices, would likely never muster anything
more dangerous than a misguided blog post. Instead of arresting actual dangers to society,
the FBI is, with alarming frequency, manufacturing them from scratch.
Satan
Was Busy So Mike Rogers Came Up as a Possible FBI Chief. Rumor has it that if Mike
Rogers is chosen to lead the FBI, we will end up with something as bad as or worse than Christopher
Wray. He was an avid supporter of Jim Comey over Donald Trump and was willing to work with
Democrats to keep Kevin McCarthy in the Speakership. Assassinating Edward Snowden isn't
funny, but it is to him: [Tweet]
Mike
Rogers, Who Wants to be FBI Director, Wanted to Keep Russia Hoax Docs Secret. Former
Representative Mike Rogers (R-MI), seen as one of the contenders to head President-elect Donald J.
Trump's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), argued that documents related to the 2016 Russia
hoax should be kept secret. Rogers, a former FBI special agent, told NPR in
February 2018 that he did not believe the Nunes Memo should have been released to the
public. The Nunes Memo, created for then-House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes,
criticized the FBI for using politically motivated and unreliable sources as part of the Russia
hoax investigation against Trump. Part of this was the infamous Steele Dossier, created by
disgraced former British spy Christopher Steele, which was used as a basis for Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against Trump ally Carter Page.
Paper-Shredding
Truck Spotted Outside Department of Justice Building Days After Trump Announces Matt Gaetz Attorney
General Nomination. The news of President Trump's return to the Oval Office and his
excellent cabinet nominations may be causing Biden Deep State officials to undertake desperate
measures to evade accountability. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump sent shockwaves
throughout the political world on last Wednesday after announcing Gaetz as America's next leading
law enforcement official. Trump called him a "deeply gifted and tenacious attorney" who will
"end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations, and restore
Americans' badly shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department." Moreover, Trump
said Gaetz as Attorney General would "root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the
Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution."
Americans
Can't Trust Mike Rogers To Give The FBI The Reckoning It Needs. It's no secret that
the FBI has become a politicized weapon of the Democrat Party. Whether it's interfering in
elections to help leftist candidates, targeting parents at school board meetings, or treating
Christians as "domestic terrorists," the list of egregious abuses carried out by the agency is too
numerous to count. With Trump set to return to the White House this coming January, many
Americans are hoping the soon-to-be 47th president will replace FBI Director Christopher
Wray — who has presided over these scandals — with someone willing to gut the
corruption that's plagued the agency for years. While no official nomination has been made,
one potential candidate allegedly up for the job should cause major concern for those wishing for a
complete overhaul of the agency. On Friday, sources reportedly told Fox News that 2024
Michigan GOP Senate candidate and former Rep. Mike Rogers met with Trump's transition team at
Mar-a-Lago on Thursday about "potentially serving as FBI director in the former and future
president's second administration." [...] While Rogers regularly cast himself as an "America First"
candidate willing to buck the establishment during his failed Senate bid, the Michigan Republican
has spent his entire political career empowering the very federal agencies being weaponized against
the American people.
[An]
FBI Whistleblower Says [the] FBI [is] Intentionally Blocking Security Clearances for Trump
Officials. It should not come as a surprise to see the same methods deployed against
President Trump in 2024 that were used by the FBI in 2016. The difference is now that President
Trump understands the full power of his office in the security clearance process and that he
doesn't need the FBI. In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool
to stall and block President Trump appointments. Historically this is one of the ways a very
corrupt and political FBI interfere in any system that might be against the interests of the
Intelligence Community that controls them. However, in 2024 President-Elect Trump and his
transition team have already taken a different approach.
Report:
FBI, DOJ Officials Freaking Out Over Announcement of Gaetz As AG Pick, Start Lawyering
Up. We've reported on how FBI officials were panicking when Trump won the
presidential election, worrying that there would be a "bloodbath" of layoffs as the President-elect
cleaned house after their endless persecutions of him. [Advertisement] But now FBI and
Department of Justice officials are freaking out even more with the announcement that Trump picked
former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general. [...] One official said he did
nothing wrong but expects they'll come after him anyway. For what, I wonder, if everything
they did while conducting endless lawfare against Trump was "aboveboard?"
DOJ
Apparatchiks Told to Lawyer Up and Flee the Country. Why? As I reported last
week, former and current apparatchiks for the Department of Justice are making plans to resign in
advance of Donald Trump's return to the White House in January. Those headed for exits
include Special Counsel Jack Smith and his top team of prosecutors, who just withdrew their appeal
of Judge Aileen Cannon's order dismissing the classified documents indictment in Florida and asked
for a halt to the proceedings in the January 6-related case pending in Washington. The
resume-burnishing appears to extend to main Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (housed
under the DOJ), and the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia office, which oversees the
government's ongoing prosecution of January 6 protesters. Anonymous "sedition hunters"
who have aided the FBI in targeting and identifying hundreds of J6ers deleted their social media
accounts over the weekend for fear of reprisal; the FBI reportedly paid the "sedition hunters" as
FBI informants to help their pursuit of Trump supporters.
FBI
Whistleblower Says FBI Intentionally Blocking Security Clearances for Trump Officials.
Because President Trump is making civics great again, it's worth reminding everyone that President
Trump has unilateral decision-making authority to grant anyone a security clearance. The
President (atop the executive) can give anyone he chooses a top-secret security clearance status,
simply by saying this person has top-secret security clearance. Yes, it really is that
easy. The President can choose his advisors and choose to share anything — even
the most top-secret information in the country — with his advisors and cabinet
members. That's what we elect him/her to do; to use his/her judgement to make
decisions. This is one of the powers within the office that cannot be challenged by any other
silo, branch or institution. The security clearance rules are what President Trump says the
security clearance rules are. There is no outside silo in the Executive Branch, who can
supersede the decision of President Trump.
The
Importance of The Next FBI Director. Many people are discussing who President Trump
will appoint to two positions: (1) Director of the National Security Agency (NSA); and (2) The
Director of the FBI. Without actually realizing it, both of these positions are fundamentally
tethered. The NSA Director is the librarian of the Intelligence Community. The NSA
gathers, collects, intercepts and stores the metadata of every electronic transmission, including
communication. The Director of the NSA is in charge of that massive responsibility to protect
and guard the library. The FBI Director is the chief customer of that library. On the
domestic investigative side, the intelligence side, and the counterintelligence side of all FBI
operations, their access to exploit that metadata has become critical. The urgency of that
need underpins the motive to continue reauthorizing FISA-702. When we remove the pretending,
702 reauthorization means surveillance access without warrants for all American communication.
The
lie of DOJ independence. The election of Donald Trump has set off panic in the
Harris/Biden government. Denizens of the FBI and DOJ, particularly upper-level apparatchiks,
are reportedly seeking fast, pre-January 20, exits. Why would powerful, selfless public
servants, people whose only concern is for the rule of law and equal justice under the law, people
who honor their oaths to honor and defend the Constitution and who live to protect Americans from
actual criminals and real threats to national security, flee as from a pestilence at the looming
second term of Trump? Because a great many of them aren't selfless public servants. Far
too many are political thugs who have dishonored the traditions of their agencies, abandoned the
Constitution, abused their power, and committed innumerable violations of law as they willingly, gleefully
pursued the political enemies of Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs) and the Deep State.
D.O.G.E.
Is A Wonderful Concept, And Here Are Some Ideas To Get It Started. The FBI,
originally created as an "emergency agency" in response to organized crime during the Prohibition
era, has become a bloated, redundant, and ultimately useless organization that essentially serves
as the outdated grandfather of other agencies conducting operations on the ground, such as the U.S.
Marshalls or the Drug Enforcement Agency. One of my personal favorite YouTube commentators
did an excellent video on the topic. There are also arguments to streamline the Department of
Homeland Security and some of its sub-agencies, notably that walking expression of "security
theater" known as the Transportation Security Administration.
The
Deep State War Against Donald Trump Begins. Trump put the Deep State on notice that
his first order of business was to investigate and prosecute in three areas: [#1] The two
assassination attempts on his life, with its indisputable charge that some in the Secret Service
and Department of Homeland Security showed criminal negligence, forcing those individuals to
cooperate with the special counsel; [#2] The weaponization of the DOJ, the FBI, and certain
intelligence agencies against President Trump's 2016 and 2024 campaigns and Trump personally, going
back to 2015, with emphasis upon exposing the truth about the "Russia collusion hoax" and the
Mueller investigation farce; and [#3] The voter fraud that stole the 2020 presidential election,
based on the discovery of secret cryptographic algorithms embedded in State Board of Education
voter registration files to facilitate the creation, hiding, and voting of falsified "voters" to be
available for use in various election fraud schemes, with particular focus on mail-in ballot irregularities.
What
Hides Behind the FBI's Allegations of Election Interference. [Scroll down]
On November 3, Tulsi Gabbard (now officially a Republican), accused the FBI of covering the
Iranian interference efforts — a prominent GOP female politician claims Tehran attempted
to undermine Trump's campaign by cyber and information operations, and the responsible American
agencies did insufficient work (if any) to investigate. This year, the FBI, top Democrat
lawmakers, and mainstream media sounded the alarm over Russia's meddling, often exaggerating its
significance while devoting less attention to equally pressing threats from other countries.
One possible explanation for this disparity is that the controversy surrounding Russian
interference, which has been extensively discussed since 2016, has become a more familiar and
tangible concern than the less visible efforts of China and Iran. It's possible that the
widespread perception that Russia's malicious activities are intended to support Trump has become
an ingrained narrative, an idea which has been refuted many times now.
FBI
brass 'stunned' and 'shell-shocked' over Trump reelection. The brass on the seventh
floor at FBI headquarters in Washington are walking around in a daze and wary of a housecleaning
since President-elect Donald Trump won his reelection on Tuesday, according to inside
sources. The Washington Times learned through several anonymous bureau sources that senior
executives who run the agency were "stunned" and "shell-shocked" by Mr. Trump's victory over
Vice President Kamala Harris. "You know the fit test? How they let the standards slack
on the fit test?" the first FBI source said, referring to the agency's physical fitness
requirements. "Everyone's going to have a real problem when they're running for the door."
FBI
Employees Terrified of Being Fired When Trump Arrives: He's 'Going to Smash the Place to
Pieces'. Employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are reportedly
terrified that there will be a "bloodbath" of layoffs once President-elect Donald Trump is
inaugurated. Which is odd, since our friends in the mainstream media have previously
indicated the term "bloodbath" is a secret siren call for violence. Kerry Picket of the
Washington Times spoke to several inside sources who claim top officials at the bureau are
"stunned" and "shellshocked" at the overwhelming victory for Trump in Tuesday's election.
Trump didn't just win — he received an overwhelming mandate from the American people,
along with solid Republican control of the Senate and very likely retaining control of the
House. There will be very little standing in the way of Trump's policies and platforms being
implemented. With that knowledge, it seems employees at the FBI are fraught with concern for
their livelihoods. That starts at the top, with Director Christopher Wray, according to the
insiders.
Ten
Things President Trump Can Do To Return The Government To The People.
January 20, 2025, will not be a checkered flag moment. On the contrary, it will be the
starting line for a four-year race to save the nation. As such, we need to look at what
exactly needs to be done going forward. Here are ten things President Trump needs to do.
[...] [#3] Restructure the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and the Pentagon. Fire
the leadership of all four, up to and including the top 100 senior managers/officers of each, with
severance packages. Investigate every one of them, and if they're colorably suspected of
treason/incompetence over the last eight years, charge them. For the rest, give them the
opportunity to demonstrate they deserve to be part of the organization if they'd like their jobs
back. Their success on that score should be based on two things: competency and a
demonstrated allegiance to the Constitution.
Whistleblower:
James Comey had FBI 'honey pot' spies infiltrate Trump's 2016 campaign. The House
Judiciary Committee is examining a new whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon
after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered
by FBI Director James Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation. An FBI agent
involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected
disclosure sent to the committee. The whistleblower disclosure said that two female FBI
undercover agents successfully infiltrated Mr. Trump's 2016 campaign at high levels and were
directed to act as "honey pots" while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.
Hero
COVID doctor indicted by the FBI. Most doctors were a disappointment during the
pandemic, hiding in their homes, refusing to see patients, and prioritizing their own livelihoods
above following the Hippocratic Oath. Dr. Kirk Moore was not one of those. As a
former military, Dr. Moore knew he was obligated to disobey unethical orders. At a
tremendous cost to himself, Dr. Moore gave patients a choice to exercise their right to bodily
autonomy when the government would not. After giving informed consent, Dr. Moore allowed
his patients the option of choosing an injection of saline versus mRNA. Both elicit an immune
response and hence, both fit the government's definition of a vaccine. While government
doctors who forced working Americans to choose between supporting their families and risking their
lives by taking experimental injections go unnoticed, Dr. Moore now faces prison time.
Harris/Biden
deconstructing America: the Ferguson effect. [Scroll down] Blue
state/city police forces have found recruiting almost impossible, and as a result have dramatically
lowered their hiring and training standards. Unfit applicants with DUIs, and all manner of
other misdemeanor convictions, as well as alcohol and drug problems have been hired. That
hasn't worked out well. DEI mandates have also ensured physically and psychologically unfit
people have been given badges and guns. Even the FBI has been forced to hire and retain
people who can't meet minimum physical standards and can barely read or write. As I recently
noted in FBI Credibility?, D/s/c cities can't admit their crime policies are abject, dangerous
failures, so they've stopped reporting crimes to the FBI, which following D/s/c mandates,
inaccurately reports crime rates. Even if honest reporting were done, the numbers would still
be skewed. In those blue cities, the police, badly understaffed, no longer respond to most
911 calls, write few reports, and as always, officers do as little as possible, hoping to
eventually retire and get a pension without being prosecuted and jailed for doing their jobs.
The
FBI Makes an Announcement About the Pentagon Leaker. The Federal Bureau of
Investigation confirmed Tuesday morning the law enforcement agency has launched a probe into the
Pentagon and who leaked top secret Israeli strike plans against Iran over the weekend. "The FBI
is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and working closely with our partners in
the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community," Fox News reported Tuesday morning.
"As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment."
The
FBI Agents Association rewarded agents who took a knee in front of BLM, proving the rot isn't just
at the top. The FBI Agents Association bills itself as "dedicated to advancing and
safeguarding the careers, economic interests, conditions of employment and welfare of FBI agents
and retired FBI agents." Founded in 1981, the nonprofit boasts 14,000 members —
including 90% of the current agent workforce — and once enjoyed almost universal appeal and
respect among them. Once. With outrageous, political decisions by its board, it has sullied
itself just as James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Kevin Clinesmith annihilated the
top law-enforcement agency's reputation during the 2016 Russiagate hoax. FBI executive management
lauded on-duty agents who knelt before Black Lives Matter protesters at the height of the George Floyd
unrest and riots for their "de-escalation" efforts, The Washington Times recently reported. [...] While
not all the "presence patrol" agents assigned to the scene — which included the Supreme Court
and the National Archives — "took a knee" in a show of solidarity or an act of cowardice and
capitulation, at least seven did.
It's
the Great Reversal, Not the Great Reset. Not only have we experienced unprecedented
unconstitutional abuse of government power exercised in response to COVID-19, 2020 election
irregularities, and January 6, which has left our country in a state that has more in common
with a banana republic than the constitutional republic that has defined us previously for some
230 years. Recent developments suggest that this could be a prelude to worse to come.
[...] The current situation in America is further complicated and problematic because the country
has been more divided than ever since the Civil War. Particularly troubling is that the
leadership of DHS and FEMA, the DoD, the FBI, the CIA, and even the Secret Service seem to have
become politically compromised.
FBI
credibility? John R. Lott, the President of the Crime Prevention Research Center,
drives Democrats/socialists/communist (D/s/cs) crazy. He does it the old-fashioned way:
he does factual, honest, reproducible research about crime, guns and related issues and provides
his data sets and methodology on request. Anti-liberty/gun "researchers" like the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) don't do that. [...] A substantial number of law enforcement agencies no
longer report crime statistics to the FBI. Worse, among those not reporting are America's
largest, most crime-ridden, D/s/c ruled cities. This purposeful gaslighting of the American
public has allowed D/s/cs to claim crime is down across America, and just in time for the
election. What a coincidence!
FBI
Caught Red-Handed Fudging Crime Data. Readers of I&I know all about how the
Biden-Harris regime has been fudging jobs numbers to make monthly gains look bigger than they
really are. Turns out, it's been doing the same with crime statistics ... this time to make
it look like violent crime is on the way down. RealClearInvestigations dug into the FBI's
data and found that the law enforcement agency had been criminally misreporting crime statistics in
a way that just happened to help Biden-Harris look like it's been tough on crime. Last fall,
for example, the FBI reported that violent crime had dropped by 2.1% in 2022. That number was
celebrated by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the press, which said it was proof that Donald Trump
was lying about a crime wave. RealClearInvestigations discovered that the FBI had secretly
updated its crime statistics, and instead of showing a 2.1% drop in violent crime, there was a 4.5%
increase in 2022. These weren't minor revisions in the crime numbers.
Feds
Quietly Correct Major Election Bomb Harris Doesn't Want Blowing Up In Her Face. The
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) quietly revised its crime data for 2022, less than three
weeks until the Nov. 5 election and conveniently after presidential and vice presidential
debates. Vice President Kamala Harris must be breathing a sigh of relief knowing that the FBI
waited until the last possible moment to correct the nation's 2023 violent crime data report.
It initially reported that the rate fell by 2.1% in 2022 but has since been updated to show it
actually increased by 4.5%, proving Republicans' claims that violent crime is plaguing the
nation. The FBI finally admits in the new data that there were thousands more murders, rapes,
robberies and aggravated assaults under the Biden-Harris administration — something
former President Donald Trump has repeatedly brought up throughout his 2024 campaign. Trump
argued in his September debate against Harris that crime rates were rising, adding that the FBI was
using fraudulent data to sell the American people a lie about the growing violence in our cities.
"President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country,"
ABC News's David Muir said, "fact-checking" Trump.
FBI
Fudges Violent Crime Stats To Hide 55 Percent Rise Under Biden-Harris
Administration. When the FBI originally released the "final" crime data for 2022 in
September 2023, it reported that the nation's violent crime rate fell by
2.1 percent. This quickly became, and remains, a Democratic Party talking point to
counter Donald Trump's claims of soaring crime. But the FBI has quietly revised those
numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5 percent.
The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults. The
Bureau — which has been at the center of partisan storms — made no mention of
these revisions in its September 2024 press release. RCI discovered the change through a
cryptic reference on the FBI website that states: "The 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for
inclusion in CIUS, 2023." But there is no mention that the numbers increased. One only
sees the change by downloading the FBI's new crime data and comparing it to the file released last year.
FBI
and the US Secret Service Plot Against Trump. New information released by Empower
Oversight (EO), a respected American civil rights watchdog, proves that the FBI high ranking
employees became way too supportive of the Democrat party. A September 19 letter from EO
president Tristan Leavitt to Jim Jordan, chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on
the Judiciary, exposes mistreatment, and even the firing of agents because of their conservative
political views. It is a real story of a certain Marcus
Allen, a highly professional and decorated FBI employee, who had his security clearance suspended
and was later fired because of his conservative stance and doubts about whether the bureau acted
properly during the Black Lives Matter and January 6 incidents. According to the EO investigation, a dramatic change in the FBI
leadership back in 2021 allowed some agents, specifically those with pro-Democrat sentiments, to
experience a skyrocketing growth in their career. The letter reads that unnamed witnesses
describe these agents as deeply anti-conservative.
FBI's
role in Hunter Biden laptop scandal is worse than you know. Hunter Biden's infamous
"laptop from hell" may be the most damning trove of evidence tying the sitting (if sleeping)
president of the United States to the over $27 million that his family raked in by peddling
his political influence to agents of corrupt and anti-American regimes — in particular,
the communist regime of Xi Jinping in China. Still, the enduring relevance of the laptop is
not as a Biden story, but as a story of the political corruption of the government's law-enforcement
and intelligence apparatus — pillars of our rule of law and our national security.
Think about this: The FBI took possession of the laptop in December 2019, and quickly
authenticated it — not hard to do because there was a mountain of publicly available
information for purposes of corroborating the data, which was incontestably Hunter Biden's.
The
U.S. government [is] now effectively a criminal organization. [Scroll down]
It is, however, nonetheless true. Government as mafia. Turns out, Uncle Sam is a capo,
head of an unimaginably vast criminal racket. Criminal racket definition:
an act of organized crime where one or multiple people or entities attempt to earn recurring gains
illegally through a business or businesses. Big Pharma come to mind? It is the largest
donor to Congress (both parties). And what is the relationship of the Democrat party to Big
Media? Unions? [...] Think of 'Fast & Furious,' a criminal operation if there ever was one.
Brought to you — and others — by the Obama administration. Or of the Steele
dossier, or 51 top intelligence officials swearing that Hunter's laptop was a Russian PSYOP, or Biden's
quid pro quo with Ukraine regarding a certain prosecutor looking into ... malfeasance on the
part of the Bidens. And then, of course, there is election interference.
The
FBI raids the wrong house. [Scroll down] The FBI is supposed to be
America's premier law enforcement agency, but they're not only making rookie mistakes, they've
strayed far from enforcing the law against dangerous criminals and have become the Harris/Biden
Administration's Praetorian Guard and not-so-secret police. In this case they apparently had
a valid search warrant, which means at least one agent had to do pseudo-due diligence. They
had to develop a criminal case, positively identify the place to be searched and persons involved,
and particularly describe the persons or things to be seized and explain why this constituted
probable cause. This is required by the Fourth Amendment, and no competent judge would issue
a warrant without those assurances. In other words, at least one involved FBI agent had to
actually visit the location of their planned raid to be tactically prepared for the raid. [...]
It's not like this was the difference between 2302 Smith Street and 2302 Smith Court. They
got the house number and street name wrong. Competent law enforcement agencies include
complete house descriptions and photos in their warrant applications.
FBI
Agent Caught Red-Handed Stealing From J6 Defendants During Raids. A former FBI agent
has admitted to stealing personal property while conducting search warrants related to
January 6 defendants, raising questions about corruption within the federal agency.
Nicholas Anthony Williams, 37, from Houston, Texas, confessed to stealing nearly $10,000 in cash
and silver bars from multiple residences during raids from March 2022 to July 2023.
Williams, a special agent assigned to both the criminal violent gang and counterterrorism squads in
the FBI's Houston office since 2019, exploited his official position to take valuable items,
according to court documents. The plea agreement revealed that Williams used the stolen money
for personal purchases, including firearms, and attempted to sell the stolen silver bars to others.
During
Testimony FBI Whistleblower Urges Americans to Prepare Now with Ballots and Bullets.
Former FBI staff operations specialist Marcus Allen gave stunning testimony Wednesday, outlining
how the FBI targets and persecutes anyone inside the institution who does not align with the
institutional mission of domination over the American public. Marcus Allen, now a
January 6th whistleblower, appeared next to Inspector General Michael Horowitz who has
investigated the claims by Allen. IG Horowitz internal investigation is not yet complete;
however, the inspector general confirmed how the whistleblowers inside the FBI were targeted for
speaking up against the FBI manipulation and corruption they encountered. Inspector General
Horowitz sitting beside Marcus Allen to confirm his testimony was unprecedented.
Don't
Believe Your Lying Eyes: FBI Says Crime Is Down. By now you're probably used to
being told that what you think you can see with your own eyes isn't true. Instead, you should
trust the experts. Did you notice changes in your child's behavior after vaccination?
No, you didn't. The experts say vaccines are totally completely 100 percent honest to goodness
safe. Do you think you're spending a lot more on groceries today than you were when Joe Biden
took office in 2020? Well, you think wrong, and you can't add up the dollars you've spent,
because the experts say President Biden has inflation under control, and it's only stupid MAGA right
wingers that claim eggs were not always $5 a dozen. You might even be foolish enough to think
you've noticed more violent and dangerous behavior, like robbery, shoplifting, or assault out on the
streets. Once again, you would be wrong to trust data from your own senses, and even more wrong to
believe any stories your friends and family tell about being accosted in what used to be safe neighborhoods.
Former
Houston FBI agent admits to pocketing money, belongings while executing search warrants.
A former federal agent in Houston may soon be finding himself on the other side of a prison cell after
admitting to stealing from people's homes while executing search warrants. Prosecutors with the
U.S. Attorney's Office [in the] Southern District of Texas said Nicholas Anthony Williams, 37, worked
in Houston's field office as an FBI special agent since 2019 serving on both the criminal violent gang
and counterterrorism squad. In his official capacity, however, from March 2022 to July 2023,
prosecutors say Williams stole money and property from several homes while executing search warrants.
Entrepreneur
Humiliates FBI When They Come to Intimidate Him — 'Can See the Shame on Their
Faces'. To tell the truth, I don't know a whole lot about Jeremey Kauffman, who is
listed as "an American entrepreneur and political activist known for founding and leading the
blockchain-based filesharing project LBRY. Kauffman is also known as a vocal supporter and activist
within the Free State Project (FSP) and a former board member." Has he made some statements
on Twitter that have upset the always-triggered class? A search would seem to indicate so,
with some calling him a pedophile, although my reading of that interaction leads me to believe that
he was just being outlandish in his comments. So I'll say this: I'm not endorsing the
guy or his viewpoints, but what I can say is that he posted an epic video Monday that showed him
absolutely humiliating FBI agents who came to his home to try to intimidate him over what he has to
say. The shame and defeat on the agents' faces seemed to reveal that they knew they were
engaging in the weaponization of our law enforcement institutions and not actually working to keep
the American public safe. [Tweet with video clip]
FBI
shows up to intimidate resident, ends up leaving with tail tucked between their legs.
The FBI showed up at Jeremy Kauffman's home to intimidate him over some post on social media that
he made and Kauffman totally got the better of them. They never even got to really explain
why they were there, no less allowing him to turn his camera off. Because he refused to talk
to them without a full name and they wouldn't give it because he wouldn't turn his camera
off. I'd call it a stalemate but it really wasn't. Kauffman totally won. [Tweet

A
Note to the Temporary Oppressors. [Scroll down] Let me be clear, anyone in
government, or otherwise coerced by it, who seek to silence or punish free speech, free thought or
free association are guilty of 18 U.S. Code 241 Conspiracy against rights, which states:
[Text omitted for brevity.] This is what I think of when I see videos of a sheriff's deputy standing
behind two federal agents at a person's door wanting to talk to them about a social media post. The
very act of a police organization, federal, state or local inquiring about an exercise of free speech is by
definition intimidation. Any social media site who censor's an act of free speech is likewise a
conspirator. To me, the response should be to look at the deputy and inquire if he is part of the
conspiracy or if he's going to take the offenders into custody as the crime was committed in his
presence. Get names, badge numbers and be willing to file charges on the spot.
FBI
Knew Ryan Routh Was a "Felon in Possession of a Firearm" for the Last Five Years. In
a press conference held on Monday, the FBI provided critical information regarding the suspect in
the recent assassination attempt on 2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. The
individual, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, had previously been the subject of a tip to the FBI,
which alleged that he was a felon in possession of a firearm. "By way of his background, in
2002, as the United States Attorney mentioned, the suspect was charged and convicted in North
Carolina for possession of mass destruction," stated Jeffrey Veltri, the special agent in charge of
the FBI's Miami field office. This alarming history raises serious questions about how such
individuals are able to evade scrutiny. [Tweet[
FBI
Agent Investigating Second Assassination Attempt Allegedly Made 'Anti-Trump' Posts.
When FBI Special Agent Jeffrey Veltri addressed a room of reporters Sunday, he presented himself as
a disinterested investigator in the second attempt on former President Donald Trump's life.
But Veltri was known at the FBI to be "adamantly and vocally anti-Trump," according to a
whistleblower account reported by The Washington Times. "The FBI has assumed the role as the
lead federal law enforcement agency in the investigation," said Veltri, who is in charge of the FBI
Miami Field Office, in the press conference. "We will continue to support this investigation with
the full resources of the FBI." Veltri appeared alongside Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric
Bradshaw, Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg, and a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service to
discuss the second assassination attempt against Trump, which occurred as the former president
played golf Sunday afternoon in Palm Beach.
The
Right to Bear Memes. January 27, 2021, was an ordinary morning that turned into a
nightmare when FBI agents rolled up at my doorstep at 7 am. Before I knew it, I was
facing the reality of a funny joke on social media spiraling into a fight for my life. I'm Doug
Mackey, better known to some by my old online persona, 'Ricky Vaughn', and for the past
three-and-a-half years I have been prosecuted for 'election interference' after posting a satirical
meme in November 2016 about voting by text. The case against me was never just about a
meme; it was a test case to see just how far the regime could push a lawfare scheme aimed at
silencing political dissent and free speech. Last week, the UK government pushed the same
idea even further, handing out lengthy prison sentences for posts on social media that draw
attention to the consequences of UK policies of mass migration. In the USA, I was patient
zero. Later, the Biden/Harris DOJ used the precedent of my example to go after pro-life
campaigners and even President Trump.
Known
Wolf — FBI States They Were Aware of Threats from 14-Year-Old Georgia School Shooter,
Colt Gray. Schools are closed for the rest of the week in Barrow County, Georgia as
the community deals with a major tragedy. Four people including two students, and two
teachers are dead; nine others are injured after 14-year-old gunman Colt Gray opened fire at
Apalachee High School in northern Georgia. More than a year ago, tips about online posts
threatening a school shooting led Georgia police to interview a 13-year-old boy, but investigators
didn't have enough evidence for an arrest. Colt Gray has been charged as an adult in the
deaths of Apalachee High School students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and
instructors Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53. Two school resource officers
encountered the shooter within minutes after a report of shots fired went out. The teen
immediately surrendered and was taken into custody.
Lawsuit
probes whether Joe Biden got FBI warning of security risk of Hunter's foreign biz. On
the eve of Hunter Biden's tax trial in California, the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has
sued the FBI, CIA and five other federal agencies for records revealing whether Joe Biden or any of
his family members ever received a defensive briefing on the First Son's business dealings.
The Heritage records requests "go to the heart of whether President Biden or his family were, at a
minimum, made aware of the potential Kompromat that could have been developed against the then-Vice
President and future President of the United States as a result of his son's foreign business
dealings," says the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the Washington DC District Court. A defensive
briefing is a security heads-up given to government officials and other exposed individuals at risk
of becoming targets of foreign intelligence services.
Trump
assassination investigation: Congress doesn't need the FBI. Two things are
becoming abundantly clear regarding the "investigation" into the attempted assassination of former
president Donald Trump. First, nobody trusts the FBI. Secondly, everybody is complaining
that the FBI is stonewalling and withholding information about the alleged shooter, and therefore,
the entire sordid event is quickly turning into a Kennedy assassination — like
conspiracy. In other words, nobody trusts the FBI. Oddly enough, the biggest complainers
are sitting on the singular investigative body that has the greatest ability to get information but
hasn't utilized its power. The House Bipartisan Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of
Former President Donald Trump has the ability to obtain crucial physical evidence, without the
FBI's permission, and remarkably has failed to act. If the FBI doesn't want to play fair,
there are other useful tools.
Context
for FBI Discussion. The FBI relationship with Antifa is exactly what we have
previously discussed on these pages. There is no way for Antifa to operate as a domestic
extremist group, without the expressed support and willful blindness of the FBI. Quite simply
if the FBI wanted to stop the violent and extremist activity of Antifa, they could do that
easily. Remember, the objective of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was to re-secure
what they perceived as physical evidence President Trump controlled showing how the DOJ and FBI action
in 2016 was targeting him using the power of their law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
In the background, the origination of all the DOJ/FBI/IC targeting goes back to the '15/'16 FBI
exploitation of the NSA database; this is not a contested discussion issue — it's just
continually forgotten. The FBI was using their access to the NSA metadata of all Americans,
to conduct surveillance on political candidates that might be a threat to the power structures that
exploited the secrets within the electronic records of all Americans. The FBI was, almost
certainly still is, conducting domestic surveillance and tracking Americans just like the German
Stasi or Soviet KGB.
DOJ
IG Finds FBI Systematically Mishandled Classified Info. Talk about irony: The
FBI, which was willing to use deadly force over Donald Trump allegedly mishandling classified
documents, has been systematically mishandling similar information for years, according to
bombshell findings released Thursday by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
The DOJ-IG said it discovered the FBI's mishandling of classified information while auditing a
contract related to how the bureau destroys electronics containing "sensitive-but-unclassified"
information, as well as classified national security information. According to Horowitz's
audit, the FBI labels computers that handle such information when it sends them to a facility
to be destroyed. However, it does not label internal hard drives extracted from those
computers. The FBI also doesn't properly track thumb drives and disk drives containing
information of varying classification levels, according to Horowitz.

Lies Leftists Tell You. Lie #8: The FBI is the pre-eminent law enforcement agency
in the world, and they enforce the law without fear or favor. This might seem true to
people who've been in a coma for the last decade or consider themselves staunch Democrats.
But to believe this, you'd have to ignore (deep breath): the Feebs lying to FISA courts in order to
spy on Donald Trump, sharing communications where they talk of insurance plans for stopping Trump,
giving Crooked Hillary a pass on mishandling classified info and destroying subpoenaed evidence,
wasting time and millions of taxpayer dollars on the Trump-Russia Collusion Scam, stuffing Hunter
Biden's laptop full of debauchery and criminality into the circular file, setting up a bunch of
halfwits for a faux conspiracy to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, killing an old, disabled man
in Utah for the crime of threatening Joe Biden on social media, and pawing through Melania Trump's
underwear drawer during the outrageous raid on Mar-a-Lago, all the while prepared to use deadly
force to settle a records dispute. A records dispute! At present, Funny Business, Inc.
is "handling" a robust investigation into the attempted assassination of former president
Trump. Expect an in-depth report on that incident sometime after the Feebs decide whether or
not there's any evidence of criminality on Hunter's laptop.
Watchdog
Group Says FBI is Hiding Records on Trump Assassination Attempt. A leading watchdog
group says the FBI is hiding records relating to its coordination with the Secret Service for the
rally during which an assassin tried to kill Donald Trump. The FBI cited FOIA exemption 7(A)
to protect ongoing enforcement proceedings surrounding the incident on July 13 in Butler, PA,
when gunman Thomas Crooks was able to shoot at Trump despite being spotted behaving suspiciously
hours beforehand. Judicial Watch sent an FOIA request on July 26th asking the FBI to
produce all relevant documents pertaining to its preparation and coordination with the Secret
Service for Trump's rally. However, the group has been stonewalled by the FBI, leaving
questions as to why there was seemingly a delay in taking out Crooks before the shooting unanswered.
FBI's
4-Acre Geofence Dragnet at the US Capitol on Jan. 6 Violated Fourth Amendment, Defense
Attorneys Contend. The FBI's "alarming" use of general warrants to scoop up the
private location data of the devices of thousands of people on Jan. 6, 2021, was a violation
of the Fourth Amendment that enabled an illegal four-acre dragnet to generate criminal charges
without probable cause, defense attorneys argue in federal court filings. In the wake of the
protests and violence at the U.S. Capitol, the FBI served search warrants on technology giant
Google Inc. and telecommunication companies, including AT&T. The warrants sought to determine
who was in and around the Capitol during the hours of unrest and rioting, court filings
indicate. Unlike other common uses of search warrants — served against specific
individuals or for specified things — general warrants seek the identity of potential
defendants first, with the alleged crimes coming later, defense attorneys say.
Watergate(s)
on Steroids. Agents had a friendly conversation with General Michael Flynn and later
charged him with felony lying to the FBI. I don't see how this law passes constitutional muster and
the Fifth Amendment. The FBI then leaned on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who recused
himself from Russiagate, allowing the appointment of an unconstitutional special counsel named Bob
Mueller who (dramatic pause) was the FBI director (another dramatic pause) on 9/11. Apparently
the intelligence community has six ways till Sunday to get back at its critics but cannot stop 19
hijackers. Why Bush kept Mueller and CIA Director George J. Tenet on after the deaths of
nearly 3,000 Americans is beyond me. I will note that the first thing the government did in the
wake of 9/11 was to create a new bureaucracy. Never let a serious crisis go to waste.
The
FBI Throws the FBI Under the Bus After Christopher Wray Pushed Conspiracy About Trump Gunshot
Wound. Don't believe your own eyes. That was the message from the far-left
following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump as they spread conspiracy theories that he
wasn't actually shot. Claims ranged from "it was glass" to the entire shooting being
staged. That's expected from the BlueAnon lunatics. It's less expected from the head of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. As RedState reported, FBI Director Christopher Wray
decided it'd be a good idea to spread the left-wing conspiracy theory that Trump wasn't hit by a
bullet. [Tweet]

Donald Trump during an attempt against his life in a rally on July 13. An attempted
assassin present near a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on July 13 opened fire and injured the
former president before he was neutralized by the Secret Service. FBI Director Christopher
Wray told Congress on Thursday that there were still "some questions" as to what exactly had struck
Trump during the assassination attempt, whether it was a "bullet or shrapnel," though did not
directly mention whether glass fragments could be responsible, a theory that has been used by some
in the media.
FBI
Withholds Exculpatory Material in O'Boyle Suspension Case. After almost two years of
having his clearance suspended, former FBI Special Agent and whistleblower Garret O'Boyle's
security clearance has been revoked. The straw that broke the camel's back was when Jen
Moore, assistant director of the Security Division at the FBI, alleged he made "unprotected
disclosures to the media." Moore alleged O'Boyle was the anonymously filmed leaker in a
May 11, 2022, Project Veritas video exposing the troubling weaponization of the FBI. The
problem is that the bureau misrepresented the identity of the suspect. As seen in Moore's
testimony, the bureau withheld exculpatory evidence that O'Boyle was not the suspect and went
with it anyway.
Why
Did Chris Wray Get So Triggered When Asked if There Were Any Confidential Human Sources at
J6? Chris Wray got really triggered when Victoria Spartz asked him a very simple and
straight forward question: She asked Wray if he could confirm
there were no confidential human sources at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Wray became
enraged, triggered and snarled back at Spartz, not even denying her question. Just pure
anger. [Tweet with video clip]
Local
cops [are] refusing to share info with FBI as agency suffers 'crisis of confidence' with DEI hires,
whistleblower report reveals. As FBI Director Chris Wray performed his usual smarmy
stonewalling in Congress Wednesday, a [scathing] report on his $10 billion agency's "cult of
narcissism" was delivered to the House Judiciary Committee by an alliance of retired and
active-duty agents and analysts. The same group gave us the scathing DEI report last year
about the FBI's degraded recruitment standards and coddling of physically unfit, mentally ill,
drug-taking or generally useless agents to satisfy diversity requirements at the expense of merit
and experience. This time they have assessed the entire bureau and drawn several worrying
conclusions, including that local law enforcement partners have developed a "disturbing loss of
trust in the FBI" and are therefore reluctant to share information, with alarming consequences for
national security and public safety.
Who
Can Donald Trump Count On? As almost every American is now well aware, Trump
certainly can't count on the Secret Service to have his back. Barring a sudden head turn,
Donald Trump would be dead. The SS failed as badly as they can, only bad aim saved "the
package." It doesn't really matter if the Secret Service was wildly incompetent or possibly
compromised and part of a plot. Either way, Trump can't count on them and would be wise to
hire his own security detail. But, don't worry, all you government lovers out there, the
troubling incident will be thoroughly investigated and reported on by Funny Business, Inc.
Yes, the fine folks who tried to sink Trump with the Russia Collusion Scam, The Mueller Report, and
the FBI-manufactured Half-Whitmer kidnapping plot will look very carefully into the hard-to-figure-out
forces of evil who almost killed Trump. And then, that very same FBI who couldn't tell Congress
just how many FBI agents, personnel, or confidential informants were in the January 6th crowd,
and who raided and ransacked President Trump's home over a records dispute with permission to use
deadly force, that same agency will enlighten us as to exactly what happened in Butler, PA.
We
can't trust politicized FBI to handle probe of Trump assassination bid. President
Biden on Sunday announced an FBI investigation into the Secret Service's astounding failure to
protect Donald Trump at the rally in Butler, Pa., promising the probe would be "thorough and
swift." But it's folly to trust a federal law enforcement agency to obliterate interagency
niceties by exposing all the foibles and flubs of fellow G-men. Instead, we'll likely see a
vintage DC investigation along these lines: Please tell us if you screwed up. Also, is
there someone else we can blame? Congress is jumping on the Secret Service's Butler debacle,
asserting its own right to investigate the assassination bid. House Oversight Committee
Chairman James Comer has directed Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle to "preserve all documents"
tied to the Trump shooting, and Cheatle could take a high-profile hammering before Comer's
committee next week.
Terrorist

Shouldn't that be obvious? The priorities of those charged with keeping Americans safe are

The
Communist Plan That Has Subverted Our Intel Agencies. On June 21, the FBI
declassified a 1999 video of Saudi intelligence agent Omar al-Bayoumi casing the Capitol and other
Washington D.C. sites for the 9/11 attack. How, then, did the CIA-FBI 9/11 report conclude in
2005 that Saudi Arabia was not involved in the attack? And why did the FBI maintain —
for 20 years, before its recent retraction — that al-Bayoumi wasn't a Saudi agent?
Such willful deception, practiced increasingly by American intelligence, is the subject of former
CIA agent J. Michael Waller's new book Big Intel: How the CIA and FBI Went from Cold War
Heroes to Deep State Villains.
Where
are these supposed "good guys" in the FBI and DoJ? One often hears in conservative
media how the top folks at the DoJ, FBI, CIA, IRS, NSA, etc. may be corrupt traitors to the country
and the Constitution but the ol' rank and file are made up of honest, hardworking, patriotic
Americans. [Nonsense.] Out of hundreds of thousands of employees, how many
whistleblowers — i.e., truth tellers — are there? How many opinion
pieces and media appearances have these supposed patriots made? How many have refused to
participate in the crimes being committed by these agencies against their fellow American
citizens? Yes, that was a lonely tumbleweed that just rolled by, serenaded by the sound of
crickets. It is not a question about whether these folks can be bought. They clearly
can be and are. Sadly for us, the price for them to sell their souls is no more than their
annual paycheck and their retirement.

Raids Property of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao. Federal agents raided the California home
of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao on Thursday morning. The FBI served a warrant on Maiden Lane in
the city's Lincoln Highlands neighborhood around 5:30 a.m. It remains unclear what
prompted the federal raid. "The FBI is conducting court authorized law enforcement activity on
Maiden Lane. We are unable to provide additional information at this time," according to an
FBI statement. Local media outlets captured video of federal agents as they carried out
boxes, trash bags, and plastic bins from the home. It is unclear what items were
seized. Local media also reported that the mayor was escorted from her home.

Legal
Insurrection Through Lawfare, Part 2. The Department of Justice is the most heavily
politicized of the U.S. government. In 2016, 91.6% gave to Democrats. Homeland Security
employees came in at 75% Democrat, and the Department of Education was as high as 96%
Democrat. The National Education Association has never donated to a Republican presidential
candidate. All federal government departments have moved from very liberal to radical via the
red diaper/red thread chain of the Obama administration hierarchy. Critical theory and
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) remained practically undisturbed by Trump and then emerged
revitalized on the first day of Biden's administration.
FBI
knew in 2016 Hunter's team plotted $120 million Ukrainian deal while Joe was VP.
The FBI learned as far back as 2016 that Hunter Biden and his partners had plotted to set up a new
venture in tax-friendly Liechtenstein that would be capitalized by a whopping $120 million
investment from the controversial owner of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, according to
documents obtained by Just the News that have been kept from the American public for eight
years. The mega-deal was not referenced inside Hunter Biden's now infamous laptop or during
the 2019 impeachment proceedings involving Ukraine, but was instead chronicled in a trove of
3.39 million documents the FBI seized from Hunter Biden and his business partners during an
investigation of securities fraud nearly a decade ago. The cache of documents was recently
turned over by former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer to the House Oversight Committee
as part of its impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden's conduct.
FBI
housecleaning. Special Agent candidates are subject to background and security checks
proctologists would think excessive. No one — with the probable exception of
diversity hires — becomes an FBI agent without being vetted up one side and down the other.
So why would the FBI open security investigations into people who had already been fully
vetted? Are they investigating people they have reason to believe have betrayed the United
States? People who have violated their oath of office? People working for hostile
foreign governments — spies? People who have committed crimes? No. They're
removing people they consider politically unreliable. You know, Normal Americans, people who
take the Constitution and rule of law seriously, people who think something's wrong when FBI SWAT
teams arrest grandmothers at 0500 for praying outside abortion clinics. They're people who
think FBI agents have better things to do than harassing citizens who stood on the grass near the
Capital on January 6. Worse, to the FBI's thinking, they're people who might speak up about
the unethical and illegal actions of superiors.
In
shocking litmus test, FBI security inquiry tried to unmask employee's Trump support, memos
show. FBI officials conducting a top-secret security clearance review for a longtime
employee asked witnesses whether that employee was known to support former President Donald Trump,
if he had expressed concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine or had attended a Second Amendment rally,
according to internal memos that prompted a complaint to the Justice Department's internal watchdog
alleging political bias inside the bureau. The employee's security clearance was revoked
months after the interviews, which confirmed his support for Trump and gun rights and his concerns
about the COVID vaccine, according to the documents obtained by Just the News. The memos
show that agents for the FBI's Security Division asked at least three witnesses in spring 2022
whether the employee, whose name and job title was redacted from the memos, had been known to "vocalize
support for President Trump" or "vocalize objections to Covid-19 vaccination." Agents ascertained
from at least one witness that the worker, in fact, had declined to get the coronavirus inoculation.
Pro-life
father Mark Houck files $4.3 million lawsuit against Biden DOJ after FBI raid.
Pro-life advocate and Catholic father of seven Mark Houck filed a lawsuit against the Department of
Justice (DOJ) last month for $4.3 million, citing "malicious" and "retaliatory" prosecution
after he and his family were subjected to an FBI raid. The dawn raid of Houck's home in 2022
by dozens of heavily armed FBI agents has become emblematic of the DOJ's inordinate targeting of
pro-life Americans with excessive force under President Joe Biden. The DOJ had charged Houck
with two felonies for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act when
he pushed abortion facility "escort" Bruce Love, 73, during sidewalk altercations in 2021.
During his criminal trial, attorneys with the Thomas More Society successfully showed that the
Catholic sidewalk counselor and father pushed Love simply to protect his then-12-year-old son from
the verbally abusive abortion activist. Houck was acquitted on both charges last year.
Eight
ISIS Linked Illegal Alien Border Crossers Arrested in Philly, LA and New York. Eight
illegal aliens previously released into the U.S. homeland by border officials, were arrested by ICE
after the FBI intercepted their communication related to bomb plots and asked DHS to detain them.
Think about this. DHS released ISIS terrorists into the USA, the terrorists planned terrorism, the
FBI intercepted the plans, then asked DHS to pick them up. One thing is certain, the FBI usually
assists these terror plots, but there are lots of awake people looking at the FBI as suspect and sketchy
now. There must have been a massive paper trail, information system, and too many people who knew
the background, which led the FBI to considering the group too dangerous to hide/support this time.
Oh, and the bad guys were from the same place the recent Moscow terrorists came from, which makes this
even more interesting.
Tucker
Carlson Discusses Latest FBI Whistleblower Evidence — FBI Security Clearances Issued
Based on Political Ideology. The granular issue of this specific whistleblower story
pertains to an FBI investigative employee who had his security clearance suspended after officials
within the FBI discovered he attended a speech given by President Trump. However, the bigger
issue uncovered during a review of that punishment was written FBI instructions from within the
sector of the FBI that investigates and issues security clearances. In essence, the FBI has a
documented standard that political ideology determines who will get security clearances approved.
If a person supports President Trump, holds conservative views, or does anything that would identify
themselves as not being in alignment with the leftist worldview, their security clearance application
or renewal would be denied. Put another way, the FBI has written policy examples that
discriminate against political views.
FBI
Tried to Unmask Employee as Trump Supporter. According to internal documents, FBI
officials, as part of a confidential security clearance assessment for a longtime employee, probed
into the individual's political inclinations, stance on COVID-19 vaccination, and participation in
Second Amendment gatherings. The internal memo triggered a complaint to the Justice
Department's internal oversight body. Months after these inquiries, the FBI revoked the
employee's security clearance. Internal records obtained by Just the News indicate that the
interviews corroborated the employee's alignment with former President Donald Trump, advocacy for
gun rights, and apprehensions regarding the COVID vaccine.
FBI
settles lawsuit out of fear of being caught retaliating against J6 whistleblower, attorney
says. The FBI reached a settlement with a former agent-turned-whistleblower out of
fear that the bureau would be discovered retaliating, an attorney for the whistleblower said.
The watchdog group, Empower Oversight, said Tuesday that the FBI came to a settlement in a civil
suit with Marcus Allen more than two years after he was suspended without pay. He said his
suspension in February 2022 came in retaliation by the FBI after he raised concerns about the
accuracy of FBI Director Christopher Wray's testimony to Congress about the Jan. 6, 2021,
Capitol riot.
FOIA
docs show FBI official 'colluded' with Democrat staffers on FBI whistleblowers: Judicial
Watch. Documents that Judicial Watch obtained through a Freedom of Information Act
request show that an FBI official "colluded" with House Democrat staffers ahead of a hearing with
FBI whistleblowers. "These troubling records show how the FBI colluded with Democrats hostile
to FBI whistleblowers who were set to testify to Congress," said Judicial Watch President Tom
Fitton in a statement. Judicial Watch sued the Department of Justice after it failed to respond
to its original request for the documents. After the lawsuit, the documents were provided.
Memo
Shows FBI Discouraging Release Of Trans Killer's Manifesto. More than 14 months
after a trans psychopath stormed into Nashville's Covenant School and gunned down three 9-year-olds
and three staff members, the police department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation refuse to
publicly release the killer's "manifesto." A newly obtained FBI memo to Metro Nashville Police
Chief John Drake suggests what many have long suspected: President Joe Biden's identity
politics-steeped Department of Justice is leading a cover-up of the deadliest transgender-directed
shootings in U.S. history. "We have a lot of other documents from the investigation in our
possession. And after reviewing them ... I will tell you I am absolutely convinced that this
is an orchestrated political cover-up because the shooter was a transgender who was on various
medications but basically was prone to high levels of violence," Michael Patrick Leahy, CEO and
editor-in-chief of The Tennessee Star and its parent company the Star News Network, told me
Wednesday on The Dan O'Donnell Show in Milwaukee.
Good! Yellow
streak running: Former FBI deputy chief McCabe says FBI agents are scared of going to jail if
Trump is elected. There's a reason federal agencies used to stay out of politics, but
it appears the Obama generation never thought it meant them. Now we get Andrew McCabe, the
fired former FBI deputy director, attempting to whip up sympathy in the press for FBI agents who
have turned that agency into the internal security apparatus of the Democrat party. [...] Up until
a few years ago, the FBI used to be a studiously non-political organization. Now they're the
willing storm troopers of every instance of legal overreach instituted by Democrats in search of
political enemies to punish, draconianly, of course. This is and should be illegal.
The Editor says...
If you work for the FBI as a socialist Democrat party henchman, you should live in fear of arrest and imprisonment.
FBI
Documents Reveal 'Stand Down' Order Before January 6 Capitol Riot. The Federal
Bureau of Investigation continues to face scrutiny over its handling of the January 6 Capitol
riot. In response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the FBI released a trove of
internal documents on May 7, posted on its website under the section titled "United States
Capitol Violence and related Events of January 6, 2021 Part 35." The newly published
107 pages of documents include email correspondence among FBI officials leading up to January 6,
real-time reactions to the violence, and guidance on the bureau's response to the Capitol riot.
However, much of the content remains heavily redacted, concealing potential evidence of misconduct.
Man
Claims He Spotted Infamous Gangster Whitey Bulger, Who Allegedly Died in 2018. Nick
Fiorillo, the founder of GotSpaceDataPartners.com, claims that he spotted Whitey Bulger, an
infamous gangster who was allegedly murdered in 2018, and reported it to the FBI who begged him not
to go public. Fiorillo told Alex Newman, a senior editor for The New American, that he had
been cooperating with the FBI since the fall of 2021, and while speaking to an agent named Michael
Doyle on the phone at a hotel, he spotted Bulger, who used to be on the FBI's top 10 most wanted
list, sunbathing in a pool chair. Subsequently, Fiorillo narrated what he was seeing to agent
Doyle on the phone, while taking photographs of the suspect. After six hours, Fiorillo told
Newman that agent Doyle called him back intoxicated, pleading with him not to release any
photographs or evidence of Bulger's existence, exclaiming that Bulger being alive is "the biggest
stain on the history of the FBI."
Jack
Smith's Lawfare Scheme Under Scrutiny. Those who understand the construct of Lawfare
understand the purposes and intents. Lawfare is an outcome of a radical activist pivot point
that happened during the Obama administration. Prior to the Obama-era the radicals tearing
down government defended the transparently guilty, their allies and fellow traveling
communists. Those who were arrested for violence the radicals supported, were defended,
excused and their activity justified. After the election of Obama, as noted first by author
Jack Cashill, something changed; the radicals reversed their position. Instead of defending the
transparently guilty, the Obama aligned usurpers — now with actual power at their fingertips —
began accusing the transparently innocent. In the "anger games" era of Barack Obama,
the radicals began attacking the innocent and using their allies in media as part of the attack
narrative. George Zimmerman, Darren Wilson, the Baltimore-six, etc. The list is long;
we tracked them all with detailed research; however, the theme amid every story was the same.
Isolate, ridicule and marginalize the transparently innocent target and make them appear guilty.
Trump [is]
Triumphing Over Evil. For four years, the press flogged the dead piñata of the
Russian hoax. The press promoted the Mueller investigation as if the former FBI director were
Eliot Ness going after Al Capone. The Jeff Bezos Washington Post, NYT, AP, the networks and
the cable news stations all praised Bobby Sox Mueller. Carl Cannon, executive editor of
RealClearPolitics, stood almost alone in reminding the public how Mueller and his successor at the
FBI, Jimmy the Weasel Comey, botched their first big case after 9/11. Cannon wrote, "They
botched the investigation of the 2001 anthrax letter attacks that took five lives and infected
17 other people, shut down the U.S. Capitol and Washington's mail system, solidified the Bush
administration's antipathy for Iraq, and eventually, when the facts finally came out, made the FBI
look feckless, incompetent, and easily manipulated by outside political pressure." It was an
inside job. A government researcher sent the anthrax letters. Clouseau and Clueless
nabbed the wrong researcher.
FBI
Director Accused of Hypocrisy for Monitoring Conservatives but Not Pro-Hamas Protests.
The director of the FBI is being accused of hypocrisy for allowing the targeting of concerned parents,
Trump supporters, and American Catholics but not "monitoring" pro-Hamas rallies and protests on college
campuses. Director Christopher Wray was asked in an interview on Tuesday about "actively monitoring"
the rallies erupting across college and university campuses, which have become the subject of controversy
and condemnation from even senior government officials. Wray replied, "We don't monitor protests."
He added, "But we do share intelligence about specific threats of violence." Social media users
reacted, accusing Wray of hypocrisy.
FBI
Director Forecasts Major Terror Attack, Lies about Monitoring Protests. In a
wide-ranging interview with NBC published Tuesday, FBI Director Chris Wray forecasted a terrorist
event in America similar to ISIS-K's alleged attack on Russia last month, when members of the
Islamic group killed nearly 140 people at a concert hall in the suburbs of Moscow. "We are
increasingly concerned [about] the potential for some kind of coordinated attack here in the
homeland, which may be not that different from what you saw against the concert hall in Russia a
few weeks ago from ISIS-K," Wray told NBC's Lester Holt. Wray didn't mention that Russia has
accused the U.S. of being behind the ISIS-K attack. While such an accusation may seem absurd
to some, recent investigative journalism has shown that ISIS-K is led by a NATO contractor. [Tweet]
US
government agrees to $138.7M settlement over FBI's botching of Larry Nassar assault
allegations. The U.S. Justice Department announced a $138.7 million settlement
Tuesday with more than 100 people who accused the FBI of grossly mishandling allegations of
sexual assault against Larry Nassar in 2015 and 2016, a critical time gap that allowed the sports
doctor to continue to prey on victims before his arrest. When combined with other
settlements, $1 billion now has been set aside by various organizations to compensate hundreds
of women who said Nassar assaulted them under the guise of treatment for sports injuries.

Carlson Tells Joe Rogan The FBI and CIA Conducted A Coup To Take Out Nixon. Tucker
Carlson explains how the FBI and CIA conducted a coup to take out President Richard Nixon with help
from journalist Bob Woodward. "Richard Nixon was taken out by the FBI and CIA, and with the
help of Bob Woodward." "[Woodward] was that guy. And who is his main source for
Watergate? Oh, the number two guy at the FBI. Oh, so you have the naval intelligence officer
working with the FBI official to destroy the president. Okay. So that's a deep state
coup." "Richard Nixon was elected by more votes than any president in American history in the
1972 election." "The most popular president in his reelection campaign, and two years later,
he's gone, undone by a naval intel officer, the number two guy at the FBI and a bunch of CIA
employees." [Video clip]
The
FBI Arrests a Terrorist, Raising Questions. Last week Merrick Garland announced the
arrest of 18-year-old Idaho resident Alexander Scott Mercurio. [...] Given that I live in the same
state as Mercurio, I'm among the defendant's supposed "peers." Under normal circumstances, I
would be an ideal disinterested juror. If I were to find myself on the jury, I would have
questions that the prosecution would need to answer. It should not escape prosecution lawyers
that a single person like myself could prevent a guilty verdict if these questions are left
unanswered. How many federal agents and confidential human sources (CHSs) were used to take
down this teenager? Did federal assets outnumber the number of people under
investigation? Did federal assets encourage any criminal behavior — as was the
case in the Whitmer kidnapping case? Were CHSs paid by the FBI? Did they have a financial
interest in an arrest? Were Mercurio's threats and plans made before or after contact with
agents or CHSs? Were any federal assets involved in the planning of his attack —
as was the case in the Whitmer kidnapping plot?
Mike
Garcia Tells FBI Director Chris Wray His Agency Has Ideologically Inverted. The FBI
knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local
sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI
knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians.
The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in
advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store
shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa. The FBI took no action.
Another suspicious FBI sting job: Ex-Marine
sentenced to prison for firebombing an abortion mill, but the narrative from the Feds doesn't quite
add up. [Scroll down] I mean seriously, is it just me, or is anyone buying
this? If this man genuinely resonates with the ideologies of Naziism, then how can he
possibly view Planned Parenthood as an institution that needs to be decimated? Need I
remind anyone that Planned Parenthood is just an evolution of Margaret Sanger's American Birth
Control League? Sanger, who was a staunch believer in Malthusian eugenics and the recipient
of fan mail from the one and only... Adolf Hitler? Hitler also penned letters of admiration to
Madison Grant, one of the founders of the American Eugenics Society, an organization which worked
closely with Sanger's own; Hitler referred to Grant's book "The Passing of the Great Race" as his
"bible." If Brannon really possesses a "Nazi worldview," then one can reasonably infer Hitler
would be his idol, correct? And therefore, the American institution most conspicuously
carrying out the eugenics of said idol would be an ally, not an enemy. Furthermore, if in
some bizarre turn of events this story were true, and Brannon really wanted to wreak havoc, why
didn't he firebomb the business during business hours, inflicting maximum damage and death?
Pictures from the incident show a moderately-scorched wall outside what looks like the front
entrance; no smashed windows, and no other vandalism. "Far-right" terrorists who don't kill
the butchers of the abortion mill, and only inflict superficial damages?
Mike
Garcia Tells FBI Director Chris Wray His Agency Has Ideologically Inverted and Now Represents the
USA Equivalent of The Soviet Secret Police. It needs to be said, and it needs to be
said loudly, the FBI is the 2024 equivalent of the 1984 Soviet-era KGB, now FSB. The modern
FBI is the police agency of a weaponized U.S government, with a direct and purposeful mandate to
keep the American people under control through strict surveillance and a violent police
state. Understand and accept this with great seriousness, there are no honorable "rank and
file" inside this organization. Every member of the FBI is a participant in the weaponization
of power and government. The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college
campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.

White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer

interrogated Trump's aide Walt Nauta — without Trump's knowledge. The FBI agents
approached Walt Nauta and asked for a voluntary interview under the guise of national security

Exposing
Corruption at FBI: Whistleblowers Share Their Stories. Garret O'Boyle and Stephen
Friend dedicated years of their lives to serving their country in the FBI. But when they began to
question some of the decisions being made within the bureau, they were suspended. [...] After
questioning some of the decisions being made within the FBI, O'Boyle was unexpectedly suspended
from the bureau in 2022. Friend has a story similar to O'Boyle's. He was assigned to
work on Jan. 6 cases, but raised concerns when he was informed that a SWAT team was to be used
to arrest a man who was at the Capitol on Jan. 6, despite the fact that the man had agreed to
cooperate with the investigation. Friend said he told his superiors, "We should not be doing
this. There's other avenues to do it," referring to arresting the man. Shortly
thereafter, Friend was suspended from the FBI.

Congress
Is Lying to You About FISA. A few years ago, we learned conclusively that, in fact,
the FBI and the federal intel agencies — the dozen or more federal intel agencies we
have, for some reason — had been working secretly against Donald Trump's presidential
campaign. Trump had whispered about this, then shouted about it, was roundly denounced as a
conspiracy nut, a lunatic. But in the end, he was vindicated. It was true. These
agencies spied on Trump, and they leaked some of what they learned to the media, which used it
against Trump. Then these agencies concocted false stories about Trump. They tried to
crush Trump completely in 2016 and then for the entire course of his presidency. Then they
did the same thing in 2020 during the presidential election. And they're doing it
still. They're trying to put him in prison for the rest of his life.

with Alex Jones and his legal battles and that the FBI "did what [they] wanted" with him and "took

much" bankrupt him and that although the FBI was after him "hardcore" he is no longer on their
radar because he is "broke." "We did what we wanted and took his money away. We shut
him up for a while," O'Blennis said. [Video clip]

Whistleblowers Say the Bureau 'Needs to Be Abolished'. Two FBI agents who had their
security clearances suspended after speaking to Congress about how law enforcement went after
pro-lifers and concerned parents, now warn that the FBI has adopted a "Marxist culture" and called
for its abolition. "The type of recruiting events they have — they have adopted this
Marxist culture to permanently change our institutions like the FBI," Garret O'Boyle, an FBI agent
whom House Republicans hailed as a whistleblower, said Tuesday at an Oversight Project event at The
Heritage Foundation. "Remember, the FBI are the people with the guns and badges who will
come after you."
Chanel
Rion on Ashley Biden Diary Investigation: The SDNY Is Biden's Personal Gestapo.
The Department of Injustice is playing cleanup for the Biden family of perverts, and you are paying
for it. Case in point, on April 3, 2024, the DOJ asked a Southern district of New York,
Judge, to sentence a single mother of two, Aimee Harris, to 10 months in prison for having
found first daughter, Ashley Biden's diary, in a Florida halfway house. Immediately after
this announcement, I noticed something strange. The news media, dutifully parroted the DOJ's
exact language from their press release, describing the situation and labeling the woman who found
the diary as the Diary Thief, describing it as a "diary thief", referring to it as "a stolen
diary." To be clear, this is not a story about some perverted diary of another drug addict
Biden family member. This is a much bigger and more disturbing trend. The DOJ and the
Southern District of New York have this habit of it, of going after the people who expose the
crimes, not the people who commit them.
Former
Agent: FBI Taught Agents Pro-Lifers Are More Dangerous Than Islamic Terrorists.
The FBI trained personnel on countering extremism with material from the far-left Southern Poverty
Law Center (SPLC), according to former special agent turned whistleblower Steve Friend. In an
interview with the Tennessee Informer last month, Friend recalled his experience at the FBI Academy
in 2014: "We were shown a video that was produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center." The
film, Friend said, "ranked people who oppose abortion, pro-life activists, as a greater threat than
Islamists." "I don't know if they still show that," Friend added, "but that's what we were
shown." The FBI still relies on SPLC material a decade later, leading a pair of top Republican
senators to demand the agency sever ties with the leftist hate group that routinely smears
right-of-center associations as "hate groups." SPLC's false "hate group" designations led
to a domestic terrorist attack in 2012 on the offices of a pro-family organization.
Here's
the Tweet That Led to the FBI Visiting a Texas Woman's Home. Is this going to become
a regular occurrence? If so, it's chilling, but it'll be documented as every home has a Ring
cam system or a variation of it. If you don't have one, it's best to invest in one for home
security purposes and recording potential run-ins with federal agents. A Texas woman, 'Kam
St. Martin,' was visited by an FBI agent for a tweet pinned on her profile. She called
out the justice system for letting her cousin's alleged murderer out on probation. The visit
was recorded, but the FBI also reportedly visited the victim's family as well: [Tweets] The
FBI being viewed as Biden's Gestapo grows every day. These antics are out of control and will
continue until we get a new president. It dovetails off an incident in Oklahoma, where three
FBI agents visited a woman over the anti-Biden posts she shared on Facebook. [Tweet]

FBI Agents Captured on Video During Home Visit Admit They Spend 'Every Day, All Day Long'
Interrogating Americans About Their Social Media Posts. FBI agents have been recorded
during a home visit to a Stillwater resident, admitting that scrutinizing Americans over their
social media activities is a daily operation, Reason.com has confirmed. Rolla Abdeljawad, an
Oklahoma resident, encountered three FBI agents at her doorstep, inquiring about her Facebook
posts. Abdeljawad's lawyer, Hassan Shibly, took to social media to post a video of the
interaction. The video, which surfaced online on Wednesday, portrays a tense exchange.
In the video, Abdeljawad declines to speak with the agents and requests that they show their badges
on camera, a request the agents did not fulfill. Abdeljawad later verified with local police
that the individuals were indeed FBI agents.
Trio
claiming to be "FBI" showed up at an Oklahoma woman's house to discuss her "political" Facebook
posts. A concerning video is making the rounds online. It shows a group of
individuals, claiming to be from the FBI, turning up at an Oklahoma woman's house to talk about her
political Facebook posts. While Revolver can't confirm the video's legitimacy, the current
political climate under Biden's regime and the FBI's zealous pursuit of Trump
supporters — or anyone stepping out of the progressive line — makes it a
story worth digging into. You've got to see it for yourself and maybe wonder, "Who exactly
are these visitors, and what brings them to her doorstep?" Did this woman post something so
incredibly heinous that the FBI has a legitimate right to question her? Interestingly, they
don't show any ID on camera, and their vehicle lacks "government plates," although, it's unclear if
FBI agents even use them. Either way, this has sparked speculation that they might be
impersonating FBI agents. Could they be Democrat operatives aiming to intimidate this woman
or just random jokester? It's definitely a puzzle, but if it's legitimate, this is a whole
new level of terror that's unfolding in the United States.
Viral
Videos Appear To Show FBI Agents Visiting Homes Over Social Media Posts. Two videos
have gone viral on X showing FBI agents visiting people's houses to ask questions about offensive
social media posts. The first clip shows three people who claim to be FBI agents visiting a
woman called Rolla Abdeljawad at her home in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The woman asks them to
identify themselves, but they refuse to do so while being filmed, before claiming they had already
shown the woman their IDs. [Tweet with video clip] "What we'd like to do is have
a conversation with you about some social media posts that you've made, would you be willing to
talk to us about that?" asks one of the agents. The woman refuses to talk until she has a
lawyer present, before the agent asks her for contact information. "No, I'll get back to
you," states Abdeljawad. Another agent then asks the woman to have her attorney "contact the
FBI office in Oklahoma City."
Woman
Records Very Creepy Visit by the FBI. Three individuals who claimed to be FBI agents
visited a woman in Oklahoma. If there were any examples of the Department of Justice becoming
Joe Biden's personal Stasi, this is it — they were there to ask the woman about the
anti-Biden memes she posted on Facebook. Of course, she wasn't going to answer any of their
questions, only declaring that what she did was an exercise of her constitutional right to free
speech on a social media platform. The agent gives a number for the FBI office in Oklahoma
City before departing. [Tweet with video clip] What is going on here? We're
seeing Gestapo-like tactics, the byproduct of the politicization of the DOJ that began when Obama
picked Eric Holder to lead the department during his presidency. Should we be shocked?
If Biden's DOJ interfered in IRS investigations into his son and tried to cobble together a sweetheart
plea agreement for Hunter's tax and gun charges, no — this is par for the course.
FBI
Agents Visit a Woman Over Her Social Media Posts. Three FBI agents went to a woman's
house in Stillwater, Oklahoma, to question her about flagged Facebook posts. The woman who
taped the agents is a Muslim woman named Rolla Abdeljuwad. "We do this every day," an agent
said, trying to sound matter-of-fact, "All day long, we talk to people. It's just an effort
to keep everybody safe, make sure that nobody has any ill will or bad intent or anything like
that," responds one of the agents. She had their license plate number and said local law
enforcement confirmed they were FBI. Her Facebook page is pro-Palestine and anti-Jewish,
but it all seemed to fit into her rights to say publicly under the 1st Amendment.

to bury 'Whitey' Bulger's file, agency rejects Herald public records request. The FBI
is closing the book on the agency's "corrupt" handling of James "Whitey" Bulger —
forever. The feds are refusing to make any further installments of Bulger's case file public,
saying the records are "investigative" and no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
"The records responsive to your request are law enforcement records; there is a pending or
prospective law enforcement proceeding relevant to these responsive records, and release of the
information could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.
Therefore, your request is being administratively closed," the FBI stated in a letter to the
[Boston] Herald Monday. They did not divulge what investigation Bulger's case could still be
linked to, considering the former Southie mobster was murdered while in a West Virginia prison in
August 2018 by two fellow inmates. He was 89 and wheelchair-bound at the time of his
death. It has also long been speculated that Bulger hid millions of dollars in foreign bank
accounts that have yet to be discovered.

The
FBI's Otherwise Illegal Activity. [Scroll down] The U.S. government
document is entitled "The Attorney General's Guidelines on Federal Bureau of Investigation
Undercover Operations." Those guidelines importantly mention that FBI operations might involve
local police or "local law enforcement agency working under the direction and control of the FBI."
Additionally, the guidelines mention that the FBI is apparently allowed to secretly own and
operate businesses and corporations, make "untrue representations" of other peoples' actions, and
engage "in activity having a significant effect on or constituting a significant intrusion into the
legitimate operation of a Federal, state, or local governmental entity." Does the FBI "engage
in activity having a significant effect on" juries, U.S. Congress, the presidency, or the Supreme
Court? Does the FBI engage "in activity having a significant effect on or constituting a
significant intrusion into the legitimate" national and local elections? The FBI guidelines
apparently also suggest employees and cooperators might "supply falsely sworn testimony or false
documentation in any legal or administrative proceeding" and the FBI and others might commit
"otherwise illegal activity," apparently including "violence or physical injury to individuals or a
significant risk of financial loss." Those guidelines on FBI operations seem to imply that
there are many people in cities throughout America employed as secret government operatives who
present themselves as everyday citizens but might actually be participating in schemes or
"mitigating opportunities."

the kind of precedent the court's order creates, citing concerns over the protections of the first
and fourth amendments. "This is the latest chapter in a disturbing trend where we see government
agencies increasingly transforming search warrants into digital dragnets," executive director of
the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project Albert Fox-Cahn told the publication. "It's
unconstitutional, it's terrifying, and it's happening every day."
Is
Article V the Solution to Our FBI Problem? The FBI has clearly shifted its mission
from law enforcement to political enforcement. Only the geniuses of The View, the
TDS-afflicted "journalists" of CNN, and the beneficiaries of the FBI's legal exemption policy (the
Democrats) would argue otherwise. Video of armed FBI agents raiding the home of a former
president dispelled the myth of "Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity" for the rest of us. Just
ten years ago, talk of eliminating the FBI was not a subject for serious political debate.
But after excusing Hillary for violation of the Espionage Act, an attempted coup, social media
censorship, entrapment schemes, targeting of citizens as domestic threats, James Comey's memory
loss under oath, and Christopher Wray's avoidance of congressional oversight, over half of
Americans consider the bureau to be Joe Biden's personal Gestapo (per Rasmussen Reports). With
that level of public distrust, the need to take serious corrective action has become a legitimate
subject of debate.
New
America: Guilty Until Further Notice. Americans might wrongly think the law
enforcement phrase "potential threat" or "risk to the public" only refers to the jihadist or
gangster. Many are probably familiar with the House of Representatives discussing how the FBI
uses FBI employees and cooperators as a weapon against Americans; this was described as the FBI's
weaponization of law enforcement. What many might not know is who the FBI described as
"potential" threats, or "potential domestic terrorists." The House of Representatives reported
that: ["][T]he FBI singled out Americans who are pro-life, pro-family, and support the
biological basis for sex and gender distinction as potential domestic terrorists.["]
Hu
Knows: Swalwell Bundler Fang Fang Breaks Cover, Reveals FBI Offered Her $1 Million.
The Chinese operative, who was Rep. Eric Swalwell's (D-CA) personal companion and staffer, broke cover
in an X-post of her sitting with a Global Times reporter nearly 10 years after her abrupt exit
from the United States — shortly after the FBI warned Swalwell she was a foreign agent.
"I had lunch with this lady today. Her name is Fang Fang, and U.S. media called her a 'suspected
Chinese spy,' wrote Hu XiJin, along with the operative who became an omnipresent force in San Francisco
Bay Democratic politics — with significant dalliances in the Midwest. Hu wrote that
Fang Fang, who presented herself in the U.S. as "Christine Fang," was the victim of the American
media and that federal national security personnel unsuccessfully recruited her. [Tweet]
Catholic
Family Faces Harassment and False Persecution by FBI and Informant Over Support for Donald
Trump. Since the election of 2020, Chaldean Americans (also known as Chaldean
Catholics) have been targeted, persecuted, and harassed by the FBI due to their support of
President Donald Trump. Zina Toma, a prominent Chaldean Catholic advocate and Trump
supporter, has reported three years of harassment that includes threats, illegal recordings, and
attempts at entrapment by an FBI informant. According to community representatives, the FBI
launched a program through its Detroit office specifically designed to target and intimidate
community activists like Ms. Toma due to their political views. Last year, The Gateway
Pundit reported that Chris Wray's FBI is infiltrating Catholic parishes. The FBI agents are
engaging in outreach to Catholic leaders to spy on Americans practicing their Christian
faith. Chris Wray's FBI sent out a memo warning agents of the dangerous 'radical
traditionalist Catholic ideology' that was gaining popularity in the country. The memo was
posted at UncoverDC.com by former FBI special agent Kyle Seraphin.
Secret
files suggest FBI effort to 'encourage political violence' ahead of 2020 election.
New evidence suggests that the FBI purposefully tolerated and encouraged political violence ahead
of the 2020 presidential election so as to target perceived domestic extremists for arrest.
The evidence includes "[t]housands of pages of internal FBI reports and hundreds of hours of
undercover recordings" that were obtained by The Intercept, a "progressive" news source. "The
secret files offer an extraordinary view inside a high-profile domestic terrorism investigation,
revealing in stark relief how federal agents have turned the war on terror inward, using
informant-led stings to chase after potential domestic extremists," The Intercept reported last
Wednesday. "The files also suggest that federal agents have become reckless, turning a blind
eye to public safety risks that, if addressed, could disrupt the government's cases," the report continued.
DOJ
Freaked Out After Matt Gaetz Brought Up Hunter's Laptop During Hearing. Employees at
the Department of Justice (DOJ) sent an email in March 2022 regarding Florida Republican
Rep. Matt Gaetz's line of questioning to the assistant director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI's) cyber division about Hunter Biden's laptop, according to documents uploaded
by the DOJ. During the March 2022 hearing, Gaetz entered Hunter Biden's laptop into the
Congressional record and pressed the FBI on the location of Hunter Biden's laptop, to which he did
not get an answer. Gaetz also asked if the Biden family had been compromised and if anyone at
the FBI knew where the laptop was located.
Mandate
for Leadership. [Scroll down to page 545] The Department of Justice (DOJ) has a
long and noble history. That history began with the creation of the Office of the Attorney
General pursuant to the Judiciary Act of 17891 and has continued through the creation of the
department in 1870, the formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1908, reforms
following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and to the present day. [...]
Unfortunately, the department has lost its way in recent years and has forfeited the trust of large
segments of the American people. Large swaths of the department have been captured by an
unaccountable bureaucratic managerial class and radical Left ideologues who have embedded
themselves throughout its offices and components. The department also suffers from
institutional inattentiveness to its core functions. Instead of being perceived as possessing
the utmost impartiality and fairness as it advances the national interest on behalf of the American
people — fighting crime and defending the rule of law — the DOJ has become a
department that 46.6 percent of Americans recently indicated is, in their view, "too
political, corrupt, and not to be trusted."
U.S.
Government Legalized Weather Modification Activities in 1971. Besides a desire for
power to corrupt in these government jobs, absolutely powerful government jobs likely attract
already absolutely corrupt people. Government employees might already be corrupt before they
attain power, and it is the absolute power which attracts them to government positions. And,
of course, it is the ability to act with almost complete secrecy which results in "absolute power."
Such secrecy is likely sought after by corrupt persons. Simply observe how often government
employees or others make billions to trillions of dollars appear out of nowhere and give that money
to other governments or to secretly operating entities like the FBI. Who would be able to
prevent FBI or other government employees from taking a couple million dollars or hundreds of
thousands of dollars here or there? Or, what about the potential to secretly get revenge on
groups of people? For example, FBI targeting Catholics; how many corrupt Americans might be
motivated to work for the FBI if they can secretly get revenge on Catholics?
What's
a Little Creepy About the FBI's Arrest Warrant for a Blaze News Reporter. We have
another instance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation going off the reservation. A Blaze
News reporter who has done a couple of stories on the January 6 riot, which embarrassed the
Justice Department, will be forced to turn himself in on Friday. Steve Baker has cooperated
with the Justice Department, which has had Baker on their radar for months. The creepy part
about this story is that this reporter doesn't know what charges he's facing. The FBI has
instructed him to wear clothing that suggests he'll be forced to wear an orange jumpsuit.
However, the Justice Department told Baker and his legal team that misdemeanors were the only
charges facing the journalist. The outlet had all the details about the legal drama in a
lengthy post, including the stories that might have painted a target on Baker's back.
FBI
gets absolutely torched online over image of white women on report about retail theft
rings. Asocial media post from the FBI was roundly mocked and ridiculed online after
it added an image of white women to a report about retail theft rings in the U.S. [Tweet]
Criticism of the post on social media focused on the race of the two women in the image. "Yes
folks, our FBI would like you to know that there is an epidemic of rich, young, attractive white
women ransacking our retail outlets... How are they getting away with this lawlessness! This
MUST be stopped!" responded John Zeigler. "This picture is so conspicuously inaccurate you have
to just marvel at our federal government humiliating itself just to avoid offending Democrats,"
replied Joe Gabriel Simonson of the Free Beacon. "Mobs of white women descending upon CVS are
why it's harder to buy deodorant," joked Sam Mangold-Lenett of the Federalist. "Apparently the
@FBI thinks the organized white upper middle class teenaged girl gangs are the ones to blame for
higher prices and businesses closing," read another tweet. "White people are finally back in
advertising!" responded author Scott Greer.
FBI
Forced a Young Mother to Stand Outside Barefoot in 12° Weather While They Ransacked Her
Home. Chris Kuehne was sentenced on Friday for his actions on January 6, 2021 at
the US Capitol. Chris is a 22-year veteran who received numerous medals and awards, including
the Purple Heart, a Navy Commendation Medal with Valor, and a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement
Medal with Valor for actions in combat. [...] On January 6, 2021, Chris went inside the
Capitol but did not cause any harm or damage — in fact, he cleaned trash off the floor,
helped to stop theft of government property, asked people to leave the building, and went up to
Capitol Police Officers to ask how he could help. Chris was also set up by an FBI operative
that day. Chris committed no violence and did nothing wrong. [...] For the record, Chris was
setup by an FBI operative who was embedded in his Kansas City group before Jan. 6.
The
American Stasi Controls What You Hear And See To Control What You Think And Do. It's
tempting to look at Big Tech, corporate media, and federal agencies as distinct industries and
entities with their own goals and organizational structures, but that's not the right way to
analyze them in 2024. In reality, they are just different systems within the same organism,
similar to how eyes, ears, and legs are all part of a human body. They have different roles
and functions, but all are subordinate to the same overarching goal: total power. In
2024, these entities all function as part of a single system: the American Stasi. Recall
that the Stasi was the oppressive spying and law enforcement regime deployed by the Soviet Union
against the people of East Germany. The American regime today is every bit as corrupt and
deceitful as the Soviet Stasi was during the Cold War. Big Tech and the federal surveillance
system work hand in glove to manipulate what you see, hear, and think. The surveillance state
spies on you constantly if you engage in activities it detests: going to church or speaking out
at a school board meeting, for example. It develops and deploys complex technologies used to
manipulate your perception of reality.
Houston
FBI agent indicted on theft charges, accused of stealing money from houses that were
raided. A former FBI special agent for the Houston Field Office has been indicted on
theft charges after being accused of stealing government and personal property from homes during
FBI raids, according to U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani. Authorities have arrested
36-year-old Nicholas Anthony Williams. According to the indictment, from March 2022 to
July 2023, Williams allegedly took money or items from multiple homes while executing search
warrants as an FBI special agent. Williams made his first court appearance on Wednesday. [Tweet]
Indicted
FBI agent stole cash, silver from Houston man prosecuted over Jan. 6 riots, records
show. A Houston college student prosecuted for his participation in the Jan. 6
insurrection was one of people robbed by a Houston-based FBI agent, according to newly released
court records. Alexander Fan's complaint about missing cash and silver helped lead to the
January indictment of FBI agent Nicholas Anthony Williams, according to court records. Fan,
27, was sentenced to 12 months probation in connection to the riot. Fan was found guilty
of entering and remaining a room in the Capitol building. He was accused of climbing into an
office through a broken window after his entry was blocked by a closed door.
The
Missing Crossfire Hurricane Binder: The FBI Wants It Hidden from the American Public and Will
Do Anything to Prevent Its Release. President Trump declassified a binder on
January 19th, 2021. The now infamous binder contains hundreds of pages about the Crossfire
Hurricane scandal. It contains damaging information about the corrupt actors involved in our
government. Two different DOJ Attorney General's have defied President Trump's direct lawful
order to publish the binder in the Federal Register. It's been over three years now, and the
DOJ continues to defy the presidential order and every FOIA request to make it public. Can we
now raid the homes of former acting AG Monty Wilkinson, and current AG Merrick Garland? [...] The
DOJ had already made redactions to protect sources and methods, and returned the binder back to the
White House before Trump left office. But the corrupt FBI also wanted to hide names of those
involved in the scandal. So, at the last minute, the DOJ demanded the binder comply with the
1974 Privacy Act.
Feds
in Disguise in Nashville? The neo-Nazis in the clip below were marching with neo-Nazi
flags, and they call themselves Blood Tribe. People suspect they are actors because few trust
the Feds at this point. The feds are certainly capable of pretending they're Nazis for
political expediency. They continually try to prove white supremacists are a threat, not
Antifa, not BLM, just white people. Our corrupt administration says white supremacists are
the greatest danger in this country, and few can find any. However, the creeps in the clip
below could be real. The ADL claims they exist, and we have the name of the
leader — Christopher Alan Pohlhaus. The ADL isn't always trustworthy due to their
political, hard-left viewpoints. The Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left Christian hate
group, claims Polhaus and his group exist. Pohlhaus is allegedly building a camp in
Maine. What is suspicious is that Polhaus's entire history online appears to be from 2023,
except for one article in 2022.
11-Month
FBI Op w/ 3 Undercover Agents Yields 1 Measly Arrest. The FBI used at least three
undercover employees and untold other resources to investigate a Tennessee firearms and militia
enthusiast for nearly the last year, only to arrest him Monday on a sole charge of having an
unregistered silencer. But the FBI's arrest of Tennessee man Paul Faye Sr. for having an
unmarked silencer does reveal a bureau investigation into militias — specifically, those
concerned with border security. According to charging documents, the FBI first began probing
Faye after the October 2022 arrest of Bryan Perry, a man charged with plotting to kill federal
agents and illegal immigrants crossing the border. Faye was allegedly a contact in Perry's cellphone.
The
FBI and Fourth Amendment follies. Most Americans don't know how much police officers
rely on the Constitution, and particularly the Bill of Rights, in their daily work. This is
particularly true of the Fourth Amendment, which regulates search and seizure: [...] Tragically,
for America and the rule of law, the FBI apparently doesn't worry about trifles like probable cause
or the Fourth Amendment: [...] An increasing number of Normal Americans and pundits alike believe
the FBI hopelessly corrupt and are calling for its elimination. With the FBI committing such
willful, egregious and arrogant violations of the Constitution, it's hard to suggest they're wrong.
Will
2024 Be the Most Dangerous Election of Our Lifetime? [Scroll down] After
the Republicans took control of the House, the "stop MAGA" operation seems to have moved into the
coverup stage. The Swamp's desperation to keep something hidden reveals just how dangerous
our own government has become. The bomb threat that triggered the nationwide interrogation of
MAGA supporters is starting to look fishier than a Wuhan wet market. The device found outside
the DNC headquarters was found by a person in civilian clothes (who many believe was a Capitol
police officer). He reported the device to a uniformed police officer, who showed no sign of alarm,
and even allowed civilians to continue walking within feet of the bomb. Security video of the
location where the DNC bomb was found shows a hooded "person of interest" sitting on a bench while
using a phone. The FBI was able to use security video to track this "person of interest"
throughout the Metro subway system and back to an automobile in Virginia. Investigators also
tied the hooded person to a Metro transit card and license plate owned by a retired Air Force chief
master sergeant who was working as a contractor with a security clearance. [...] The House
January 6 committee investigated the bomb incident in parallel with the FBI, but hundreds of
documents and hours of taped testimony have since been destroyed — in violation of
federal records retention statutes. Yet nobody has been arrested for this felony.
Documents associated with the bomb threat that were not destroyed, were encrypted and the
encryption keys have since been "lost."
FBI
Agent Indicted for Stealing Cell Phones During Home Raids. The Justice Department
announced Wednesday that a 36-year-old FBI agent from Houston has been charged with theft of
personal and government property and providing false statements. According to the indictment,
unsealed Wednesday, Nicholas Anthony Williams has been an FBI special agent in the Houston Field
Office since 2019. He served in both the criminal violent gang and counterterrorism squads.
Williams is alleged to have taken money or property from multiple residences while executing search
warrants as an FBI special agent from around November 2022 to March 2023. "Williams
also stole multiple cell phones which were FBI property and provided false statements with regard
to several fraudulent charges on his government-issued credit card," the DOJ said in a press release.
The
FBI must be wiped clean, or wiped out, on Day One of the next Repubican administration.
Should Donald Trump become president in 2024 and the acts to make major changes within the federal
executive bureaucracy, cleaning house from top to bottom with major firings and layoffs (something
he should have done in his first administration and failed to do), without question the first agency
he must attack mercilessly is the FBI. There are numerous documented examples in the past decade
where the FBI has been weaponized against conservatives and Republicans, investigating, harassing, and
even arresting people because they held beliefs that opposed the agenda of the Democratic Party.
In some cases the individuals attacked were simply religious Christians who opposed abortion.
In other cases the victims were ordinary Americans who simply made public their support of Trump.
Nor were just everyday Americans attacked. The FBI has arrested Republican candidates for office.
Its officials have altered evidence to justify illegal seach warrants against Republicans. Its
management also targeted and framed Trump officials it did not like. Officials there also
abused the FISA court, submitting error-filled applications that were used to get warrants to spy
on Americans. It redacted information to hide its misbehavior, claiming dishonestly that the
redactions were for national security reasons. This list is only a very small selection of
the many such stories reported in the past decade.
If...
Then... 2024. Christopher Wray's FBI is putting spies, moles, and informants inside
Catholic and Evangelical churches. Wray's FBI does have moms from school board meetings put
on the domestic terrorist list. Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas are purposely allowing America's
enemies and the "fifth column" unfettered access across our southern border (tantamount to
treason). Biden, the secretary of state, and the secretary of defense really do care more about
Ukraine's border than America's border (again treasonous). Biden and the Deep State really do care
more about Palestinians in the Middle East than they care about the people of East Palestine, Ohio.
Milley and the Department of Defense really do not want white Christian Southern straight men in the
military. Wray's FBI really did rifle through Melania Trump's lingerie drawer.
'This
is Your FBI,' thanks to DEI. [Scroll down] "The FBI does not appear to be
getting experienced, 'mature' candidates, such as the former cop, former military person, the
professional career person, the lawyer, accountant or engineer." Sound familiar? The
U.S. Army has the same problem. The brass can't seem to recruit anybody who can do a
push-up. Who in their right mind wants to risk their life by joining an organization run by
entitled, shiftless incompetents who despise them? "The FBI is now a joke among other law
enforcement agencies because of its apparent investigative failures, political targeting of certain
individuals/groups, and woke adoption... The FBI is considering hiring candidates not accepted by
other law enforcement agencies." The G-men have Diversity Recruitment Events —
"straight white males may not attend." In other words, there's no room for a modern-day
Inspector Lew Erskine. But Dylan Mulvaney or Jussie Smollett — come on down!
Ninth
Circuit Finds FBI Search Resembled 'Those That Led to Adoption of the Fourth
Amendment'. World Economic Forum Poohbah Klaus Schwab is fond of paraphrasing the
Joseph Goebbels quote, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear," as "If you have
nothing to hide, you shouldn't be afraid." Fortunately, that dark day in America has been kicked
down the road by no less a body than a panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. On
Tuesday, the court struck down the FBI and Department of Justice in what looks to be a
precedent-setting case called Snitko v. United States, dealing a significant blow to the
government's expansive search and seizure practices known as "inventory searches." The case
started out with a 2021 raid on a company called US Private Vaults, a California company offering
secure safe deposit boxes with minimal personal identification requirements. Though
apparently some specific boxes were targeted, the FBI elected to break open some 700 boxes and
rummaged through their contents to the extent of bringing drug dogs in to sniff for traces of drugs
as an excuse for invoking civil asset forfeiture.
FBI
Illegally Raided Hundreds of Safe-Deposit Boxes, Appeals Court Rules. The 9th Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the FBI acted unlawfully in March 2021, when it raided
hundreds of renters' safe-deposit boxes in Beverly Hills, conducted criminal searches of them all,
and attempted to permanently keep everything in the boxes worth more than $5,000 — all
without charging any box renter with a crime. The 9th Circuit's Tuesday decision stems from
an investigation the FBI opened into US Private Vaults, or USPV — a company that, unlike
typical banks, provided safe-deposit boxes to customers without requiring identification. The
FBI had been investigating invididual USPV customers, but determined the "real problem" was USPV,
which they believed served as a "money laundering facilitator." Accordingly, the FBI raided
the entire USPV vault in 2021. Even though the warrant authorizing the raid only permitted the
FBI to open boxes to identify their owners and safeguard the contents, agents rummaged through
hundreds of boxes, ran currency they found in front of drug sniffing dogs, and made copies of
people's most personal records, according to the Institute for Justice, which filed a lawsuit on
behalf of multiple non-criminal USPV customers.
FBI
Waited Four Years before Arresting Alleged Right-Wing Bomb Maker. Last month, the
Justice Department charged Wisconsin man James Morgan, an alleged right-wing extremist, with
unlawfully possessing a destructive device after FBI agents found six homemade grenades in his
residence. In an unsuccessful bid to have his client released on bail before trial, Morgan's
attorney said in recent court filings that the FBI monitored him for at least four years before
arresting the alleged bomb maker last month.
Why
Did the FBI 'Disappear' the Boston Bomber's Jihadist Wife? I hadn't thought about it
in a while, but the Messenger went out and dug up this old story with an odd twist.
["]Katherine Russell pulled off a seeming vanishing act shortly after her husband, notorious
Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in a shootout with police days after the
bloody 2013 terror attack. But she didn't do it alone. The Messenger has spoken to
multiple sources from various U.S. government agencies who say that the FBI helped Russell go off
the grid. The widow, now 34, fled the Boston area to New Jersey with her young
daughter. She remarried, though she kept in close contact with her late husband's family
while cutting off almost everyone from her old life.["] It might be understandable for
the FBI to help her disappear if she were a witness or if she were at least hiding from the
terrorists, but since she's keeping in touch with the Tsarnaev clan, that's clearly not the
case. This is a really bad family.
Elon
Musk calls for unmasking of Patriot Front: 'just follow them'. On Sunday, X owner
Elon Musk called for members of the Patriot Front organization to be unmasked and questioned "Why
doesn't the media or government care about their identities?" He asked. The comment came in
response to X user Wall Street Silver, who theorized, "The fact that the legacy media shows zero
curiosity about unmasking these guys, tells us 100% that these are federal agents or paid stooges
of one of the agencies." "Seems like they should be followed and unmasked," Musk said. [Tweet]
The Editor says...
Heaven forbid that any the remarkably uniform Patriot Front fellows should be physically assaulted and forcibly unmasked;
but if that happens, let's see if the assailant faces charges for attacking a federal agent. Will the government
then claim that we should have known they were (barely) undercover feds?
The
Deepest Part of the Swamp [is] The FBI. [Scroll down] Many former FBI
agents are asking, "Where was the FBI during the cyberwarfare attack on the 2020 election?" Marxist
revolutionaries determined to overthrow the American government have coordinated this into a
transnational and international threat, and Christopher Wray, the FBI director, is protecting these
treasonous leftist operations. It has been over three years since evidence was delivered to
the FBI concerning massive election fraud in Michigan. There has been no further
investigation, and no charges have been filed.
The
FBI — the Dog That Turned on Its Master. In 1908, in response to rising
organized crime, the federal government decided that additional accountability was warranted.
It created a watchdog called the Bureau of Investigation (which later became the FBI). Given the
sweeping police powers of the watchdog, its agents receive training about the limits of their
authority, and are required to swear a sacred oath to those they serve that they will not abuse
their authority. We trusted our new watchdog to hold miscreants accountable for violation of
federal laws. But we failed to hold the watchdog itself accountable. We never yanked
the leash and said "bad boy" when the dog deviated from its oath. Subsequently the dog
learned bad habits. After decades of biting people without consequences, we're faced with a
beast that has become a menace to society, rather than its protector. Our "watchdog" has
become the threat which it was intended to police.
The
Fabricated Memory of January 6th. [Scroll down] The people felt there
were shenanigans in the 2020 elections, such as late-night voter drops caught on film, mail-in
ballots counted at the last minute that all seemed to go for Biden, even from districts that
previously had voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2016. And what about the supposed water pipe
explosion in Atlanta that forced the evacuation of a tallying center — and then it
turned out there was no pipe burst or flooding after all — it was just a false
alarm. We now know, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray, they had dozens —
if not hundreds — of embedded FBI agents in the crowd. It was like a Cecil
B. DeMille movie production, and it was done for the specific purpose of being able to create and
fabricate a memory of an insurrection that never occurred. [...] At present, most of the
video depositions have been erased or have disappeared according to FBI administrators; they've
lost hours of video depositions of witness testimony; Liz Cheney says she doesn't know what
happened to the original tapes. Do you think Biden's FBI will perform a serious search?
What
Will the FBI Not Do? The FBI is now, tragically, in freefall. The public
is at the point, first, of asking what improper or illegal behavior will the bureau not
pursue, and what, if anything, must be done to reform or save a once great but now discredited
agency. Consider the last four directors, the public faces of the FBI for the last
22 years. Ex-director Robert Mueller testified before Congress that he simply would not
or could not talk about the fraudulent Steele dossier. He claimed that it was not the
catalyst for his special counsel investigation of Donald Trump's alleged ties with the Russians
when, of course, it was. Mueller also testified that he was "not familiar" with Fusion GPS,
although Glenn Simpson's opposition research firm subsidized the dossier through various cutouts
that led back to Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. And the skullduggery in the
FBI-subsidized dossier helped force the appointment of Mueller himself. While under
congressional oath, Mueller's successor James Comey on some 245 occasions claimed that he "could
not remember," "could not recall," or "did not know" when asked simple questions fundamental to his
own involvement with the Russian collusion hoax.
FBI
[has] hundreds of 'missing' Jeffrey Epstein documents including tapes, CDs, passports and
pictures. The FBI is facing fresh calls to release hundreds of 'missing' pieces of
evidence raided from Jeffrey Epstein's $51 million New York townhouse following the release of
a new list of his associates. Among the items said to be missing are tapes, CDs, passports
and pictures all located inside a safe within the property during a siege on the home in
July 2019, shortly after Epstein was arrested. It comes as speculation continues to
swirl that Epstein was working as an agent for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad prior to his
suicide while awaiting trial for child sex offences.
If
it all goes wrong, with whom will the police side? Federal Law Enforcement: these
weaponized, politicized "public servants" likely represent the greatest threat. I've often
written I suspect most FBI agents are honorable people. Unfortunately, there's no way for
Americans to determine which are and aren't, and misplaced trust can be fatal. Which Feds are
probably least likely to turn traitor? Perhaps the Border Patrol. Their level of
disgust with the Mummified Meat Puppet Administration (MMPA) and all its Democrat/socialist/communist
(D/s/c) functionaries is obvious. However, all of them are chasing pensions, and all —
little cogs in a vast bureaucratic machine — are used to going along to get along.
They know what happens to people who don't play along in thought, word and deed. Some will
turn to the dark side to keep their pensions. Others because they want to be on what they
think will be the winning side. Some because they like having power over others, and they'll
get pretty much life-and-death power. Under the circumstances we're considering, some will
comply because they don't want to be shot or have their families threatened. Yes.
That will happen.
Former
GOP Rep. Fortenberry's Conviction of Lying to Feds Reversed by Appeals Court After Defense
Lawyers Argued FBI Set Him Up. An appeals court wiped out a conviction of a former
Congressman after defense lawyers argued the FBI "set up" the lawmaker. Nebraska GOP
Congressman Jeff Fortenberry last year resigned from Congress after being convicted of lying to the
FBI. "Due to the difficulties of my current circumstances, I can no longer serve you
effectively," Fortenberry said in a statement. Kevin McCarthy joined then-Speaker Pelosi and
called for Fortenberry to step down last year.
The
Right Way to De-Weaponize the FBI. In the pre-woke FBI, it took more than simply
labeling a U.S. citizen as a potential domestic terrorist to open an investigation. Back
then, the bureau was required first to show that an individual sought to engage in criminally
violent or life-threatening acts to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government.
Today's FBI, however, blissfully bypasses the most fundamental elements of the domestic terrorism
violation when it comes to labeling large swaths of peaceful, law-abiding citizens (non-Catholics
as well as Catholics) as potential terrorists. According to the Judiciary Committee report,
the FBI's targets are Americans who dare hold such disfavored political viewpoints as "pro-life,
pro-family, and support the biological basis for sex and gender distinction."
Heavily
redacted records show FBI's targeting of Catholics went beyond what it claimed:
watchdog. A conservative government watchdog has released almost 100 pages of FBI
documents it says show the agency was not fully forthcoming about its actions surveilling and
targeting Catholic churches. "FBI Director Christopher Wray had told congressmen that the memo
was 'a single product by a single field office,' but the records uncovered by Judicial Watch show
that it was "Reviewed by: OGC/CDC [Office of General Counsel/Chief Deputy Counsel],'"
Judicial Watch posted in a press release Friday [12/15/2023]. Judicial Watch obtained the
documents through a FOIA request related to an internal FBI memo leaked earlier this year, which
revealed that the agency had efforts underway to identify and treat Catholics as "potential
terrorists." "The records also indicate coordination with officials from Portland and

secretly taped James Biden as it probed attorney who paid $100K to his consulting firm:
report. President Biden's brother James was secretly recorded by the FBI during a
bribery investigation into a Mississippi trial attorney who shelled out $100,000 to his consulting
firm in the late 1990s, a report said on Sunday. Richard Scruggs, the trial attorney, hired
James and Sara Biden's DC consulting firm while seeking to gin up support for tobacco legislation
being contemplated by Congress in 1998, the Washington Post reported. Neither James, 74, nor
his brother President Joe Biden, 81, were implicated in any major criminal wrongdoing in the
case. But the revelation comes amid an impeachment probe into alleged influence-peddling by
the president's family members. "I probably wouldn't have hired him if he wasn't the senator's
brother," Scruggs told the Washington Post about why he forked over cash to James Biden's firm.
With
Nothing More Important to Do, FBI Goes Mega-Woke, Mandates Use of LGBTQIA+ Instead of
LGBT+. Today, a leaked FBI memo brings us some earth-shattering news: The FBI
has now officially adopted "LGBTQIA+" instead of "LGBT+" in all of their official correspondence.
[Tweet] Has the FBI nothing better to do? Like, maybe, catching bad guys?
Apparently not; in between running interference for corrupt politicians, spying on congressional
staffers, and arresting a journalist — one of my colleagues, to boot — on
trumped-up J6 charges, they seem to have time for pandering to ultra-woke left-wing special
interest groups. In what way is this enhancing the FBI's mission? In what way does this
improve their ability to investigate crimes and arrest perpetrators? I think we all know the
answer to that — it doesn't. The term "FBI" is reputed to stand for "Fidelity -
Bravery - Integrity," and it's hard to see how adding more letters to a silly term reinforces any
of those things. Besides, they are replacing "LGBT+" with "LGBTQIA+" because, as their memo
puts it, they want to be more "inclusive."

Whistleblower Says U.S. Gov't Sees Americans as 'Primary Enemy'. FBI whistleblower
Steve Friend has a warning for Americans: our bloated bureaucracy sees We the People as its
"primary enemy." Friend is a former FBI agent, a fellow at the Center for Renewing America,
and co-host of "American Radicals" podcast. He speaks truths the government would prefer to
keep hidden on many platforms, including on Twitter/X. His internal knowledge of the FBI and
government bureaucracy led him to make a chilling comparison on Dec. 3. Hydra Host co-founder
Aaron Ginn had noted, "The FBI went to great lengths to track down every grandma and grandpa associated
with Jan 6th. In the last two months, we have terrorist sympathizers waving the Palestinian
flag and wearing a keffiyeh in our streets and they do nothing."
Forget
Hamas, the Feds Still Think We're the Bad Guys. To anyone paying attention to
reality, Joe Biden and his rogue goon squad Justice Department would prefer that half the country
be locked up. It's easier to get an election to go their way if the voters who oppose them
are legally indisposed. They've been working feverishly to make sure that the Republican
frontrunner is legally unavailable, after all. In a time when our southern border is being
besieged by various and sundry criminals and college campuses are overrun by protesters who support
the most heinous terrorists in the world, it would be nice to think that the formerly trustworthy
people at the Federal Bureau of Investigation were focused on some of them. Alas, this is the
Biden FBI, and it is singularly focused on any threats to Democratic election victories.
FBI
tells Newsweek that Trump supporters are enemies of the state and must be secretly tracked,
monitored, investigated. According to an October 4 report in Newsweek, "the federal
government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbance around the 2024 U.S.
presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it
seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers." Notice the term
"army." There's a sinister purpose behind that word. The government, in cooperation with
its corporate partners at Newsweek, are trying to paint a picture of an organized military force
ready to go to war with Trump as its leader. As a member of the conservative movement in
America, I can tell you that it is the most unorganized, disjointed and fragmented movement in the
country. It is not in any way monolithic and as such poses no threat to the government or
anyone else. But this is who our government has targeted for monitoring and tracking.
They're not worried about the Chinese men of military age pouring over the open border at a rate of
2,000 to 4,000 per month under Biden. They're not worried about Iranian sleeper cells.
NO, they're worried about American citizens on the Trump team who want to see their candidate in
the White House.

Catholic Family Dragged Out of Home at Gunpoint, Locked in Van After FBI 'Goaded' Teen to Post
Offensive Memes, Dad Says. A traditional Catholic family was allegedly "dragged out
of their home at gunpoint, handcuffed and locked in a van" earlier this year after the FBI "goaded"
their 15-year-old son to post "offensive memes" online. The teen, a volunteer firefighter
and altar boy, was then hospitalized on mental health pretenses, according to his father, Jeremiah
Rufini. The FBI's aggressive "investigation" only resulted in a misdemeanor conviction
against the boy for breach of peace, but financially devastated the family with substantial legal
expenses. The FBI targeted the boy as part of a sting operation catfishing traditionalist
Catholic teenagers with "extreme political content," Rufini explained in the family's GiveSendGo
crowdfunding site.
The FBI is really good at solving
problems that it caused, and capturing villains that it created.
Wait,
The FBI Had 40 Confidential Informants Tracking the Biden Family's Shady Deeds?
There's been a war, and Hamas terrorists and their supporters are coming out of the woodwork, so
this story got buried. If you're Joe Biden, you're probably happy about it. [...] The FBI
reportedly has not one but 40 people feeding them information about the Biden family. Is that
normal? Does that sound like things are kosher regarding their business dealings? As
you'd expect, the FBI was able to shut down some of the reporting on these leads by waving the
magic wand and saying "foreign disinformation". [...] It also goes beyond Biden's scandals.
The bureau dropped a legit slam-dunk child pornography case to persecute January 6
suspects. That is how Biden is going to get away with it: the FBI runs interference long
enough so that when every allegation is proven true through corroborating evidence provided by
these informants, Joe is long out of office and quite possibly dead. Or he'll get away with
it because that's what happens when you're a member of the Democratic Party.

FBI
is Purging Christians, Conservatives, And Covid Skeptics, New Whistleblowers Allege.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revoked whistleblowers' security clearances due to
legitimate security concerns, reported the New York Times and the Washington Post last
spring. The FBI agents who testified about FBI abuse of power before the House Judiciary
Committee in May, the New York Times claimed, "do not meet the definition of whistleblowers."
The FBI penalized those agents, agreed Democrats, for valid reasons, including their support for
January 6 rioters, and they used the House hearing to pursue a politically motivated "vendetta
against the FBI." They "are not, in fact whistleblowers," Democrats said. But now yet
more FBI employees have come forward to make protected whistleblower disclosures to the House
Judiciary Committee. The new disclosures, which Public obtained copies of, suggest that the
FBI's Security Division has knowingly retaliated against at least one whistleblower and is improperly
using security clearance investigations to single out others. The FBI denies any wrongdoing.
FBI
Investigation Of Alleged Child Predator Was 'Halted' To Hunt Down January 6 Rioters, Court
Docs Show. An FBI investigation into an alleged child predator that was halted after
the Capitol riots of Jan. 6, 2021, languished for almost three years before the man was
finally apprehended in October 2023, according to court documents. Brogan Welsh, 31,
allegedly communicated with an undercover FBI agent in December 2020 about having sexual relations
with a 9-year-old boy, but the investigation stopped after the Capitol riots, according to the
criminal complaint. The Anchorage FBI later caught Welsh allegedly living with a 10-year-old
boy in Alaska in October 2023, through a different investigation, and arrested Welsh on suspicion
of distribution of child pornography. [Tweet] "On January 6, 2021, FBI, Washington
Field Office [WFO], this investigation was halted due to events that occurred at the United States
Capitol Building that day," the documents state. The FBI in 2020 posed as the father of a
9-year-old boy and communicated with an online user going by "gayboy69freak" for several weeks,
according to the documents. The user "expressed interest in traveling to Washington, DC to
engage in sexual contact with the purported 9-year-old."
Piercing
the halo of the FBI special agent. When the FBI excessively sent 25 uniformed agents
armed with guns and shields to surround the house of pro-life activist Mark Houck and his family
(after the Philadelphia Police Dept. did not file charges against him, the Philadelphia D.A.
declined to prosecute him, and he had offered to turn himself in), did you expect a special agent
tasked to be part of this operation to refuse to participate and get fired over it?
(Note: Houck was eventually acquitted of all charges.) Same question with the pre-dawn
amphibious assault on 66-year-old Roger Stone's house, which aside from the frogmen included 17
vehicles, two of them armored and on his front yard, and CNN cameramen who just happened to be
strolling around his residence in the darkness. Same question with the raid on Donald Trump's
Mar-a-Lago residence.
How
Many Perverts Did the FBI Ignore While Chasing Trump Supporters? The Federal Bureau
of Investigation, by its own admission, neglected at least one critical investigation into horrific
child sexual exploitation, while diverting agency resources toward investigating those thought to
be involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, events at the U.S. Capitol. An example of FBI
misdirecting its resources is the disturbing case of an Alaska man, Brogan T. Welsh, who allegedly
distributed child pornography and expressed disgusting fantasies online about anally raping male
children. The FBI had Welsh in its sights and was set to bring charges against him.
Even one week before Jan. 6, 2021, the man they believe is Welsh was trying to get a sex date
with a prepubescent boy online. But the FBI but dropped the case on Jan. 6, 2021,
according to the FBI's Statement of Facts to the court. It had more important things to
investigate — Trump supporters. How many other cases of equal or greater severity
have been dropped by the FBI in favor of targeting politically active Americans?
Another
SWAT raid screw-up? On November 8, the FBI launched a SWAT raid at the home of
Gregory Yetman, a January 6 suspect. Around 7 a.m., Yetman left his home to go to
work. He found himself surrounded by armed FBI agents. His brother Todd Yetman claimed,
"Greg walked out, froze in the face of guns drawn, and ran." According to journalist Julie
Kelly about 30 armed agents were involved in the raid, yet Yetman was able to escape. During
the Roger Stone raid, two amphibious watercraft were covering the canal in the rear of Stone's
house in case the 67 year-old tried to make a swim for it. During this raid, however, there
were no efforts to close escape routes. Is it possible that Yetman was allowed to escape?
Journalist Julie Kelly claims this is all about optics and juicing DOJ's "domestic terror" data.
Yetman's arrest would have been a non-event for the national media if he had simply surrendered.
His escape resulted in a "massive manhunt." The FBI and local law enforcement used helicopters,
drones, and search dogs to try to track him down. A $10,000 dollar reward was offered for
information leading to his arrest. Local residents were advised to "shelter in place."
In short, this was great theater, designed to be covered by he national media for however long it
took to arrest him.
The Editor says...
If he was "surrounded by armed FBI agents," how did he elude all of them? That alone is a big red flag.
If
You Oppose Tyranny, You're on the FBI's AGAAVE List. As if locking up J6 protesters
for their political beliefs and repeatedly arresting President Trump for opposing the Deep State
had not been big enough clues, America's KGB goon squad revealed last month that it has a whole new
domestic terrorism category specifically created to target MAGA voters: Anti-Government,
Anti-Authority, Violent Extremists. (Fist bump to any reader who sees "AGAAVE" and immediately
thinks that it must be Tequila Tuesday somewhere.) It's always disconcerting to find more
proof that the FBI is every bit the dangerous, psychopathic, anti-American organization that it
appears. Whenever I refer to it as the "Fascist Bureau of Intimidation," a little voice in my
head asks, "Is that entirely fair?" Then I see how it's AGAAVE'd half the population onto a
terrorist watchlist, and I realize that I'm not being critical enough. This agency is Soviet
Russia's Cheka secret police through and through. It just goes to show what a commie-curious,
shock troop — loving, Big Brother monstrosity the United States Leviathan has become
when its "premier" law enforcement agency thinks people opposed to authoritarianism are the
real problem.
Maybe
the FBI should be viewed properly as partisan swamp creatures. It has been clear for
a long time that the FBI has become a rogue agency that is willing to target political enemies
while protecting many Democrats no matter how many crimes they commit. They also consistently
cover up for the crimes of FBI bureaucrats themselves, along with bureaucrats from other federal
agencies. They treat criminals in the government softly while targeting private citizens and
political opponents. In 2016, many employees of the FBI were targeting Trump for defeat,
while supporting Hillary Clinton. Some committed perjury by lying to the FISA court in order
to illegally spy on people surrounding President Trump. No one went to jail for this
perjury and illegal spying. Instead of cooperating with an investigation into the illegal
spying, the FBI resorted to more illegal spying on Congress itself. The FBI also illegally
spied on a U.S. Senator, state lawmaker, and a state judge. As far as I can tell no one
went to jail for this illegal activity.
How
much did the DoJ spend to arrest J6 protestor Gregory Yetman? Is this an agency that
has too much money and not enough to do? Not with an open border, zero knowledge of who's
gotten in, and FBI Director Christopher Wray warning that he expects a terrorist attack based on
the current scenario. There are child-smuggling sex rings and child-smuggling labor rings to
probe. There is organized crime infesting the cities with mass shoplifting incidents that are
out of control. The Chicoms have yet to have most of their illegal police stations shut down,
and Chinese and other foreign spies are being caught left and right, suggesting there's a lot of
this stuff going on, what with nobody having to pass a background check anymore before getting into
the military and the rest of the government. There is antifa and its violent activities.
[...] The bureau can't be investigating any of that? Why are they constantly caught spending
money on useless and even legally questionable cases — from the investigation of parents
for protesting at school board meetings to the investigation of Latin Mass enthusiasts, both on
terrorism charges, and now this obvious abuse of power against [Gregory] Yetman for political purposes [...]
GSA
defends and Md. leaders celebrate Greenbelt FBI HQ choice. When word got out that
federal officials had chosen Greenbelt, Maryland, to be the new home of the FBI's headquarters,
criticism came fast and furious from both leaders in Virginia and leaders in the FBI. While
government officials in Maryland are celebrating the decision to locate FBI's new headquarters in
Prince George's County, the General Services Administration is also defending its decision with
newly-released documents showing agency leaders had been going back and forth about those same
criticisms with FBI leaders for several weeks.
The Editor says...
Before sinking a bunch of money into the FBI, let's consider disbanding and abolishing it first.
Think of the money we'll save. Also think twice before building a new headquarters for the
Department of Energy, the EPA, NASA, the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, or the
Department of Agriculture. There are numerous government agencies and departments that nobody
would miss if they were to disappear.

FBI Raided For Dad's Pro-Life Advocacy Seeks $4.3 Million From 'Corrupt' DOJ. A
Pennsylvania family the FBI raided last September over the father's pro-life advocacy filed two
claims today for a total of $4.35 million in damages due to the FBI's unconstitutional,
"malicious," and "corrupt" use of "excessive force." Mark Houck and Ryan-Marie Houck say in
their legal filings obtained by The Federalist that their seven children continue to suffer as a
result of the FBI raiding — with battering rams, ballistic shields, armor, and long
rifles — the home of a nonviolent pro-lifer who didn't own any guns and whose seven
children were just waking for breakfast. The Houcks "have lost three babies from miscarriages
due to the stress of the FBI's conduct and resulting prosecution" and subsequently been diagnosed
with infertility, Ryan-Marie Houck's filing says. She says she still cries for hours and the
family's high anxiety provoked by the raid has caused them to install security cameras and rarely
leave home.
These
70 Republicans Just Rewarded The FBI With New Headquarters Worth $375 Million. On the
day that the DOJ announced arrests related to a brothel that focused on political clients, these 70
Republicans voted to give the FBI brand new headquarters. Florida Republican Rep. Matt
Gaetz moved to defund plans for the new office building with an amendment to the Financial Services
and General Government Appropriations Act for 2024. House Democrats were unanimous in opposing the
Gaetz proposal and were joined by 70 Republicans. Gaetz's proposal failed 273 to 145 in a
Wednesday vote, the same day the Justice Department unveiled three arrests over a "sophisticated
high-end brothel" ring operating in Virginia and Massachusetts. Despite decades of misconduct
revealing an agency politicized beyond repair on behalf of Democrats dispatched to prosecute
political opponents, House Republicans have given the FBI a multi-million-dollar new complex to
interfere in foreseeable elections.
FBI
director, Virginia officials call for reversal of decision to relocate FBI headquarters in
Maryland. Virginia officials and the head of the FBI called on Thursday for the
reversal of a decision to relocate the headquarters of America's top law enforcement agency to
suburban Maryland. They allege that the federal agency tasked with overseeing the relocation,
the General Services Administration, which oversees federal real estate, failed to address what
they said were conflicts of interest in the selection process. In an internal message to FBI
employees on Thursday that was obtained by POLITICO, FBI Director Christopher Wray blasted the
decision to move the agency to Greenbelt, Md., saying that a three-person panel made up of two GSA
officials and one FBI official unanimously recommended a site in Virginia for the new headquarters.
But instead, a political appointee at the GSA chose the Greenbelt site, against the panel's recommendation.
FBI's
Choice for New Headquarters Raises Questions. The decision by the Biden
administration to move the FBI national headquarters from central Washington D.C. to Greenbelt,
Maryland has raised questions about the selection process, "political pressure" and planning
hurdles. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), which manages federal buildings,
announced that it had chosen the site — a suburb of the capital some 13 miles from
the city center — on Wednesday, prompting praise from Maryland lawmakers and disapproval
from Virginia legislators, both of whom had competed over a number of years for the lucrative contract.
The Editor says...
If the FBI headquarters had moved to Texas while George W. Bush was president, would there be
any doubt about the reason? Obviously Joe Biden, who is a Maryland resident, has a lot of
political connections in Maryland, and has already demonstrated his willingness to perform political
favors for a price.
Whistleblowers
accuse senior FBI officials of retaliating against agents for their political beliefs.
At least three FBI whistleblowers told lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that
high-level senior officials at the bureau are revoking security clearances of personnel based on
religious or politically conservative beliefs. According to the disclosure, shared with
The Washington Times, one of the whistleblowers reported that FBI executives targeted current
employees associated with former FBI employees who were interviewed for the movie "Police State,"
which includes former FBI agents Kyle Seraphin and Steven Friend. The movie, a documentary
co-created by conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza and produced by talk radio host
Dan Bongino, claims Democratic Party leaders, working with top officials in the FBI, CIA and
Justice Department, have censored and, in some cases, imprisoned their political opponents.
FBI
recruits for new hires at Charlotte Pride event. The Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) set up a recruitment table at an LGBTQ Pride event in South Carolina, prompting backlash
across social media with people accusing the federal law enforcement agency of political
bias. The FBI announced on X that its Charlotte branch attended a recent Pride event in an
effort to recruit attendees to the Bureau and to discuss the agency's commitment to protecting
civil rights. "Recently, @FBICharlotte participated in a Pride event where the FBI spoke to
attendees about career opportunities and the work the Bureau does to protect civil rights," the
Bureau said on X.
The Editor says...
They're hiring left-wing political activists. They're not looking for the next Joe Friday.
FBI
sets up recruiting tent at gay pride event. We called it — it was only a
matter of time until "Pride" events routinely cropped up all throughout the year instead of
remaining within the confines of June. And, as the FBI has apparently discovered, the
unthinking degenerates who patronize such events provide the "law enforcement" agency with the
perfect audience to run a public relations campaign (after an especially despicable few years), and
a crop of recruitable future agents.
FBI
Spotted Recruiting at Pride Event in North Carolina. The FBI received major backlash
on social media after they set up a recruitment tent at a LGBTQ Pride event in North Carolina
recently. In a post on X, the FBI's Charlotte branch posted a photo of FBI agents with pride
flags hanging on a recruitment tent in an effort to recruit attendees of the pride event. In
the post, the FBI wrote "Recently, FBI Charlotte participated in a Pride event where the FBI spoke
to attendees about career opportunities and the work the Bureau does to protect civil rights."
Criticism
Has Consequences — FBI Raids Home of NYC Mayor Eric Adams' Chief Fundraiser.
Having just written a rather critical outline showcasing examples of the weaponized FBI for
political intents, this latest story fits right in. You might remember last year, when Texas
Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar was highly and publicly critical of the Biden border crisis and
the immigration policy of the administration, within 2 weeks the FBI raided his home. Fast
forward to today, and for the past several weeks, New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams has been
highly and publicly critical of the Biden border crisis and the influx of illegal aliens into New
York City. Suddenly, the FBI raids the home of his top aide.
Anatomy
of a Biden family 'cover-up' executed by our own FBI and DOJ. Closed-door testimony
by former Pittsburgh US Attorney Scott Brady to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week is a
chilling case study of how credible corruption allegations against President Biden and his family
were covered up by the FBI and DOJ — before and after the 2020 election. Brady's
testimony fits a pattern revealed by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) last week, in which over 40
confidential human sources gave information to the FBI, over several years, about potential
criminal activity involving the president, his brother James and son Hunter. In a blistering
letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday, Grassley alleged ongoing efforts "among
certain Justice Department and FBI officials to improperly delay and stop full and complete
investigative activity into the Biden family." Few people know that better than Brady.
The
Rise of Jacobin Justice. In this last decade, Jacobin justice has been unleashed on
everyone from school board protesters to local police to a former president of the United
States. Much of it flows directly from the DOJ, but state and local prosecutors have been
keen to launch witch hunts of their own. In doing so, they have corrupted evidence, rigged
juries, allowed fear to dictate outcomes, and abandoned all traditional notions of equality before
the law.
7
Takeaways From Grassley's Latest Findings on FBI Corruption in Biden Probe. Long
before the House opened an impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden, the FBI had been
investigating potential influence peddling by the president and his family in China, Ukraine, and
elsewhere, according to information released by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. In the
newest wrinkle of an unfolding legal drama for the president's family, Grassley, co-founder of the
Senate Whistleblower Caucus, revealed that for more than a decade, about 40 confidential informants
have talked to the FBI about the Bidens. Grassley signed a letter Tuesday seeking answers on
these allegations from Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. In
it, Grassley wrote that whistleblowers in the Justice Department, which is run by Garland and
includes Wray's FBI, have told his Senate office that officials tampered with key information
streams and stymied the probe into the Bidens.
FBI
And Its Foreign Influence Task Force Purged Sources Who Were Onto Biden Corruption.
The FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force used a sham assessment opened by FBI headquarters to cull
reporting from confidential human sources (CHS) throughout the country related to the Biden family
and then falsely brand the intelligence as "foreign disinformation," Sen. Chuck Grassley,
R-Iowa, revealed Wednesday. Wednesday's explosive news suggests the DOJ and FBI's
Biden-family protection program encompassed many more players than previously known. But it
is the involvement of the Foreign Influence Task Force that demands an immediate response by the
House, namely the launching of an impeachment inquiry of FBI Director Christopher Wray, under whose
watch this task force abused its power — and interfered in a presidential
election. Late Wednesday afternoon, Grassley released a seven-page letter that, while
addressed to Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, spoke to the American public, telling them
of evidence of "significant political bias infecting the decision-making of not only the Attorney
General and FBI Director, but also line agents and prosecutors." Grassley's letter summarized
the evidence he has gathered over the last two years, with the assistance of Sen. Ron Johnson,
R-Wis., and multiple whistleblowers.
Close the Border.
The American people, at least the reader, has to start getting tough. Those in the government
are not your enemies, because they don't even give you the respect of being a human being. [...] If
it affects the American citizen, they refuse to do anything to make it better. What are they
doing then? They are passing aid packages to Ukraine, Israel, Iran and the
Palestinians. They are passing aid packages that go to NGOs that organize the caravans
flooding the borders. The FBI is designating patriots as "domestic terrorists" so they can
come after them with brutal force. It's not enough that you've paid for your own destruction,
it isn't happening fast enough and they want to speed it up. In order to show how dangerous
white men are, they're labeling every criminal of color as "white" to pump up the statistics of
"white" crime and justify their assault on the American patriots. At the same time, they are
totally ignoring all of the legitimate terrorist threats.
Donald
Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears. The federal government
believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential
election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to
track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers. The challenge for the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and
prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or
affiliations — even though the vast majority of its current "anti-government"
investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek. "The
FBI is in an almost impossible position," says a current FBI official, who requested
anonymity to discuss highly sensitive internal matters. The official said that the FBI is
intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of the January 6, 2021, attack on the
Capitol. But the Bureau must also preserve the Constitutional right of all Americans to
campaign, speak freely and protest the government.
An
Old Man Looks at America. [Scroll down] Were the CIA, FBI, and Justice
Dept. always this corrupt? Perhaps. (I'm a born cynic.) But at least, in the past,
they tried to cover up their shenanigans by publicly apologizing, instituting reforms, and
promising to do better. You could sleep at night and possibly dream that those agencies were
on your side. Now, woe to him who offends the Deep State! Trump-supporters, the
pro-lifers, Latin Mass-loving Catholics, those who question either the '20 election (see bad
joke, voting) or the historically awful government response to COVID-19 — all are
domestic terrorists spreading misinformation, committing stochastic violence, and the #1 threat to
America, according to the FBI and the odious Merrick Garland, our height- and ethics-challenged
attorney general. Worst of all, the above-named agencies don't even attempt to hide their
treachery. They laugh in your face as they continue trying to destroy Donald Trump for nigh
unto nine years now. They'll break down your door and jail you for trying to protect an
unborn baby. They'll gladly sue or audit you to death if you have the wrong political
views. Don't take my word for it; ask Mike Lindell.
Yes,
intelligence agencies work against their own governments. The history of the FBI and
CIA meddling in domestic politics is long and not especially heartwarming. Despite being
lionized by the media, "Deep Throat" was nothing more than a disaffected FBI bureaucrat named Mark
Felt who despised Nixon because he didn't get the promotion to FBI director he wanted. He
started leaking right after he was passed over for the directorship after J. Edgar Hoover
died. Hoover himself was a vile political player, and his passing led to major reforms at the
FBI. Most people don't know this, but Felt himself was convicted of violating the civil rights
of political opponents he suspected to be in the Weather Underground. He ordered agents to
break into people's houses looking for evidence of wrongdoing. He was pardoned for his crimes
while appealing his case. He was a real Hoover acolyte. [...] The intelligence and law
enforcement agencies are independent actors as often as they are servants of the state and its
leaders. The reforms after the Church committee didn't stick.
New
witnesses in the FBI Civil War gold heist emerge. We've been covering this story
since it first rose to national attention almost three years ago, but more details continue to
emerge. We're talking about the treasure-hunting duo Dennis and Kem Parada of Finders
Keepers, who believed they tracked down the location of a huge shipment of gold that was "lost"
during the Civil War in rural Dents Run, Pennsylvania. Unable to get permission to dig for
the treasure, they enlisted the help of the government. That's when the FBI showed up with
earth-moving equipment and conducted their own secretive dig, later claiming that they found
nothing. The treasure hunters didn't believe them and took them to court in a case that is
still unfolding. But now, two new witnesses have come forward and they say they're not buying
what the FBI is claiming either.
10
Ways Democrats Are Already Rigging the 2024 Election. Another facet of so-called "law
enforcement" agencies' election interference is their blatant targeting of conservatives.
Within the past few years, the FBI has been caught directing its fire at parents attending school
board meetings, Catholics who attend Latin Mass, and innocent pro-lifers, to name a few.
Given these actions, it wasn't shocking when Newsweek reported on Wednesday that the agency is
gearing up to single out supporters of former President Donald Trump as "domestic terrorists" ahead
of the 2024 contest. As The Federalist's Jordan Boyd reported, "Testimony from more than a
'dozen current or former government officials who specialize in terrorism' to Newsweek confirmed
that this increase in targeting was born out of the FBI's decision to lump Trump supporters into
its expanded definition of 'domestic extremism.'"
FBI
Quietly Created New Category of Extremism Ahead of 2024 Election to Include Trump-MAGA
Supporters. The FBI is beyond repair. As the 2024 election season heats up the
FBI has created a new terrorism category to include Trump supporters. This is taking place at
the same time the Biden regime is targeting President Trump with over 91 indictments on bogus
criminal acts in several states. And it occurs as the demented President screams about MAGA
during his public speeches. [...] FBI whistleblower Steve Friend weighed in on the latest admission
by the Deep State. Steve Friend calls for the indictment and arrest of every single FBI and
DOJ executive who took part in this scam and to abolish the FBI! "Glad to see Newsweek
reporting that everything I blew the whistle about is accurate. The FBI used January 6th
to manipulate and artificially boost its domestic terrorism stats."
FBI
secretly monitoring MAGA ahead of 2024 election, says Trump supporters could start a civil
war. In another disturbing report regarding the FBI, we are learning that they have
begun secretly monitoring the MAGA movement for domestic terrorism, worried that Trump supporters
could start a civil war. [...] I don't mind the FBI monitoring actual domestic terrorist
organizations and those who commit violence across the country, like Antifa. But they
probably don't monitor Antifa. Instead they train their sights on the political mass of Trump
supporters. Remember earlier this year when we found out they were targeting traditional
Catholics? How about they just worry about the actual domestic terrorism groups, like Antifa,
and stop targeting Americans who passionately participate in politics.
FBI
secretly targeting Trump supporters ahead of 2024 election, labels MAGA followers as 'domestic
violent extremists': Report. [Scroll down] In October 2022, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation created a new subcategory of domestic terrorists labeled
AGAAVE — which stands for anti-government, anti-authority violent extremism. The
new subcategory is a threat group that is not anarchists, a militia, or sovereign citizen
groups. The new classification is officially defined as "domestic violent extremists who cite
anti-government or anti-authority motivations for violence or criminal activity not otherwise
defined, such as individuals motivated by a desire to commit violence against those with a real or
perceived association with a specific political party or faction of a specific political party."
The outlet reported, "Government insiders acknowledged to Newsweek that although they are not
named specifically, the AGAAVE-Other title applies to political violence associated with Trump
supporters." "It was a subtle change, little noticed, but a gigantic departure for the
Bureau," according to Newsweek. "Trump and his army of supporters were acknowledged as a
distinct category of domestic violent extremists, even as the FBI was saying publicly that
political views were never part of its criteria to investigate or prevent domestic terrorism.
Where the FBI sees threats is also plain from the way it categorizes them — a system
which on the surface is designed to appear nonpartisan. This shifted subtly days after the
events of January 6 when it comes to what the Bureau calls AGAAVE."
FBI
Agent Accused Of Lying About Censoring Hunter Biden Laptop Dodges Testimony Before Jim Jordan,
Source Confirms. FBI agent Elvis Chan, who appeared to lie under oath about his role
in censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story, failed to show up Thursday to his scheduled testimony
before the House Judiciary Committee, a source familiar confirmed to the Daily Caller. The
Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Chan on Sept. 21 to appear for an interview Thursday after he
previously failed to attend a scheduled interview, the Daily Caller previously reported. Chan
was nowhere to be found at the time the interview was scheduled, a source familiar told the Daily
Caller. "Everything is on the table for Mr. Chan, including contempt," Russell Dye, a
spokesperson for the House Judiciary Committee told the Caller.
Biden's
FBI has classified MAGA as terrorists. A shocking new Newsweek investigative report
reveals that the FBI has classified Trump and his supporters as domestic terrorists. They
couch their classification in "nonpartisan" terms, but even they — anonymously, of
course — admit that their investigative efforts are directed at the MAGA movement.
The predicate for this is, of course, January 6th's riot at the Capitol. Even
classifying that event as terrorism is ridiculous on its face, as are the sentences aimed at people
who for the most part were nothing but trespassers. I hold no fondness for the riot, which I
think was shameful, but practically speaking nothing the rioters did could possibly be negatively
compared to what the 2020 George Floyd rioters did. Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y committed
the same crime that many of the January 6th rioters were convicted and sentenced for. I
think we can expect that he will not be deemed a terrorist.
FBI
Probes Amy Coney Barrett's Faith Group. The FBI is reportedly probing a Christian
faith group that counts Catholic Supreme Court justice Amy Coney Barrett as a member, months after
Republicans accused the agency of targeting Catholics. The agency has interviewed several
people who claim they were abused by members of the group, People of Praise, sources told the
Guardian. Barrett, who was elevated to the Supreme Court by former president Donald Trump,
has been a member of the South Bend, Indiana-based group for decades. It is not clear whether
the agency has launched a full investigation or is just conducting interviews.
The
FBI Targets Trump Followers as the 2024 Election Nears. The federal government
believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential
election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to
track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers. The challenge for the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and
prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or
affiliations — even though the vast majority of its current "anti-government"
investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.
The
FBI was behind a key document used to convict 'Proud Boys' in Jan 6. case. The events
of January 6 continue to be framed as a "violent insurrection" which struck at the heart of
American democracy. Yet a court case which secured four convictions of "seditious conspiracy"
relied on documents authored by the government itself. This was the revelation of a motion in
court reported by the Gateway Pundit on October 2. "It is clear from this complete
body of evidence that has been completely ignored by the mainstream media, pins the January 6
attacks on the U.S. Capitol directly on the FBI and its operatives," Gateway reported.
FBI
Hides Evidence of Nationwide Voter Registration Fraud. You may or may not have heard
of the nationwide voter registration fraud scheme. And you won't hear much about it now in
the media. It involves tens of thousands of fake voters. The FBI is hiding the
information using the usual excuse that it's an ongoing investigation. Just the News
confirmed the FBI will not release the information. The probe began in Michigan and has the
potential to be very widespread. The FBI took over a 2020 probe into voter registration
fraud. John Solomon's Just the News confirmed, "According to the dozens of pages of police
reports from the Muskegon Police Department and Michigan State Police, a firm called GBI Strategies
was under scrutiny as an organization central to alleged voter registration fraud in the 2020
presidential election. The matter was initially investigated by city and state authorities
before the FBI took over."
FBI
sued after allegedly losing hundreds of thousands in rare coins during raid. Two
Americans are alleging the FBI lost or stole their property after seizing it through a "shady"
process. "All we know is that their property was in a box and safe before the FBI broke into
the box," Joe Gay, an attorney with the nonprofit law firm Institute for Justice, told Fox News.
"Once the FBI broke into the box, we honestly don't know exactly what happened." "We don't
know if they lost it. We don't know if somebody pocketed it and walked away," he continued.
"We have no way to know." The Institute for Justice filed two lawsuits Friday on behalf of
clients who had property seized from their safety deposit boxes in a March 2021 FBI raid on U.S.
Private Vaults, a Beverly Hills-based company. After prevailing in court, and the FBI
agreeing to return their property, both Don Mellein and Jeni Pearsons discovered some of their
property was missing and suspect the FBI's haphazard raid or sticky fingers are to blame.
FBI
Sued for What Elderly Man Says Happened to His Coin Collection: Report. A
Beverly Hills man has sued the FBI to get his property back after the agency allegedly took
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gold coins he had stored in a safety deposit box, items
he was told they would never return even though he was never charged with any crimes. The
man's attorney told Fox News that the FBI had raided a California-based safety storage company on
suspicion of laundering money for drug dealers, but while in the pursuit of those charges, the
bureau also raided the company's suite of safety deposit boxes, broke into all of them, and
confiscated every customer's property whether they ended up connected to any drug dealers or
not. Worse, these folks were told that the "law enforcement" agency had no intentions of ever
giving back their valuables and cited "civil asset forfeiture" rules as their excuse to keep $86
million in cash and other valuables.
Another
take on the FBI's 'parents are domestic terrorists' playbook. We hear every day about
the "weaponization" of the DOJ and FBI, and it feels as though there is weaponization. But I
am forced to ask: how can the federal intelligence and criminal divisions target everyday patriotic
Americans? Don't they need a reason to get involved in potential local criminal matters?
I think I am understanding better after really thinking through A.G. Garland's response to
questions about the parents at school board meets and Catholics being domestic terrorists.
Most rational people thought labeling them domestic terrorists was ridiculous. But, in
questioning by Senate and House Republicans, the standard response was that the FBI and DOJ were
investigating violence and threats of violence. The inference is that threats of violence are
coming from domestic terrorists.
It
Appears Former FBI DC Supervisor D'Antuono Was Lying to House Investigators About the Number of FBI
Operatives Embedded in Crowds on January 6. As reported earlier on Tuesday, The
House Judiciary Republicans sent a letter Tuesday that includes transcribed testimony from former
Assistant Director-in-Charge of the Washington Field Office (WFO) Steven D'Antuono. D'Antuono
testified that the FBI had numerous confidential human sources (CHS) in the Trump crowd on
January 6. In fact, they had so many FBI operatives in the crowd they had no idea how many
were actually there that day! D'Antuono had quite a record of failures and lies during his
time at the FBI.
A
sudden amnesia epidemic at the FBI. We learned this week that as part of the ongoing
House investigation into Hunter Biden (and his family), FBI Special Agent Thomas Sobocinski was
called in to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on September 7th. But according to
a transcript reviewed by the New York Post, things got off to a rocky start. Agent Sobocinski
either could not or would not answer multiple questions regarding the investigation. It's as
if he was having a sudden lapse of memory, much like Hunter's father. But in reality,
Sobocinski had been briefed ahead of his testimony and told what things he could or could not say
to the committee, with numerous restrictions being put in place based on "constraints around the
ongoing investigation." Isn't that convenient?
The
FBI Took Her Life Savings But Won't Say What She Did Wrong. The FBI seized Linda
Martin's $40,200. It didn't charge her with a crime, and the notice the FBI sent her did not say
why it was trying to keep her money forever. Yet Linda's savings have been in the
government's hands for nearly two years. What started as a simple decision to save for a home
has now become a nationwide class action lawsuit. Linda Martin lives in the expensive Los
Angeles real-estate market. When Linda began to save for a down payment, she wanted to rent a
safe deposit box because, in Linda's own words, she is "a shopper." Linda knew that if she could
use her ATM card to spend that money, there would be a chance she would use it on something she
wanted but didn't really need. So she decided to put the cash in cold storage.
Accuser
Admits He and Seven Bush Allied Cohorts Secretly Went to FBI to Report Ken Paxton Without any
Evidence of Wrongdoing. People are discovering why I have said for several years that
Texas is a Red State citizenry led by a majority of Blue cloaked politicians. The
establishment republicans are thick in Texas, led by the Bush tribe and Karl Rove. The exact
same group that supports the con that is Ron DeSantis. The third day of the Senate
impeachment trial of Attorney General Ken Paxton continues today with the group of deputy attorneys
in his office (the Bush Clan) admitting they went running to the FBI for investigative support
against Paxton, despite having no evidence of wrongdoing. [Video clip] Notice how
all of the AG office witnesses look exactly like George P Bush? They are clones.
Paxton's crime was easily defeating George P Bush, which triggered all of the corrupt GOPe
appointees, bureaucrats and politicians.
Ken
Paxton Accuser and his Bushie Cohorts Went to FBI to Report on Paxton Without ANY Evidence of
Wrongdoing. The Bushies and Karl Rove want Paxton gone. So they made up some
accusations against him in an attempt to impeach him. Attorney General Ken Paxton is the one
man who has stood up against the Democrat-Marxist onslaught in the great state of Texas.
Democrats and Secret Sleeper Republicans hate him for this. [...] The impeachment comes after
Paxton called on Republican House Speaker Dade Phelan to resign and accused him of being drunk in
the Capitol — which he was. The RINOs in Texas like in every state are in war with
Democrats against their MAGA base. Paxton's impeachment is a prime example of this. The
RINOs do not care if Democrats steal the elections or destroy the state. They just want
Paxton gone.
FBI
Admits It Has Lots Of Documents About Targeting Christians. If ever you thought that
the Biden Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Deep State that we knew had been used to punish
groups since the days of the Obama administration, had been weaponized to target Christians, here
is hard proof. I mean, we already HAD proof in the horrendous case of Mark Houck, who was
arrested by the FBI (after a SWAT raid at his home that traumatized his family) for alleged
violations of the FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Act. Houck was acquitted in
federal court, which left a whole lot of egg on the face of the DOJ. But it has become increasingly
clear that the DOJ has a target on pro-life activists and parent groups that support traditional
values — and as a result, it has turned its Eye of Sauron onto those they call "radical
traditionalist" Christians. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) submitted a FOIA
request to the FBI, and then sued when the FBI failed to comply. Well, the FBI did finally
submit a response, which chief counsel Jay Sekulow (whom you may remember as one of Donald Trump's
lawyers from his first impeachment) is now highlighting on Twitter/X. [Tweet]
FBI
Lies About 'Highly Credible' Source Claims Were Leaked To NYT And Spoonfed To Weiss.
Emails obtained by the Heritage Foundation following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit,
and shared exclusively with The Federalist, reveal that lies leaked to The New York Times about the
origins of damning evidence implicating Hunter and Joe Biden in a bribery scandal were fed to
Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss. As I previously detailed, The New York Times reported
those lies in its Dec. 11, 2020, article, "Material from Giuliani Spurred a Separate Justice
Depart. Pursuit of Hunter Biden" — just a week after Americans first learned of
the investigation of the now-president's son. The Times' reporting was "replete with
falsehoods and deceptive narratives," but "Americans just didn't know it at the time."
Jim
Hoft: FBI Created 3,200 J6 "Playing Cards" to Identify, Surveil and Punish Americans who
Attended Jan. 6 Protests. Earlier today The Gateway Pundit released our
interview with January 6 defendant Eric Clark who is being persecuted today by his government
for walking inside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Eric Clark, who has had access to
the original 14,000 hours of government footage from January 6, told us about the clandestine
system the government is using to identify the Americans who innocently walked into the US Capitol
on January 6th — Government playing cards! According to Eric, the FBI has
created approximately 3,200 "playing cards" to identify and target the enemies of the
regime — Trump supporters. Since that day in January 2021, the Biden regime has
rounded up hundreds of Trump supporters, destroyed their lives, hit them with made-up crimes,
bankrupted them, humiliated them, and destroyed their families like you would an enemy force at
war. In fact, the US would treat captured enemies better than they do American citizens and
Trump supporters today.
31
Years After Ruby Ridge, the FBI Is Still Killing Americans with Impunity. As
Republicans and Democrats waste time and political capital focusing on how the FBI treats Donald
Trump or Hunter Biden, four men in the last three weeks have been shot to death by the FBI, three
of them in questionable pre-dawn raids. Two of the men were white and right-wing, one was an
Arab, and another was a black suspected for a string of robberies. In a typical FBI related
raid leading up to a shooting, federal agents make painstaking efforts to destroy any visible
cameras on a targeted property, seldom wear body cameras, and refuse to inform family members why
they felt they had to shoot their loved one or what they were suspected of. In some cases,
the FBI will even refuse to confirm their involvement in a killing. In these controversial
shoots, the Bureau has the laughable ability to investigate itself, which predictably, means that
they rule every killing as justified. The FBI then cordons off the scene and bans the family
from entering their own residence for days as staff is dispatched to collect evidence, providing
them ample opportunity to tamper with or eliminate any evidence of malfeasance or error. In
virtually every case, an agent who shoots a suspect in a contentious encounter is granted the
informal right to forever remain anonymous by both the media and government officials —
a perk not extended to local police officers in similar circumstances. If public outrage
begins to grow, unrelated videos and information intended to characterize the person who was shot
as a dangerous menace suddenly leaks to the press even as the FBI publicly keeps its lips
sealed. The way these incidents unfold is akin to how death squads or assassins operate
rather than a legitimate law enforcement agency subject to civilian oversight.
FBI
Kills Yet Another American in His Own Home, This Time It's a '100% Disabled Veteran'.
For at least the second time this month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has killed an American
in his own home. What makes the most recent slaying so heinous is the status of the
suspect — a man his family described as a completely disabled veteran who was unarmed
when he was gunned down. On Aug. 16, FBI agents executed the fatal arrest operation at a
residence in Henderson, Tennessee. The noise from the early morning operation woke at least
one neighbor, who witnessed some of the chaos of the deadly raid. [...] One day before the killing
of Robertson, the FBI was found to have quietly executed another fatal raid, but details are being
kept under wraps so the identity and nationality of the dead individual have not been
released. On the morning of Aug. 8, hundreds of miles south of Utah in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, an individual was shot during an armed FBI action. The bureau has remained
tight-lipped about the incident, confirming only the time of the incident and that a shooting had
taken place. The deadly matters in Albuquerque, Provo, and Henderson apparently still remain
under investigation.
FBI
Refused to Tell Mother of Disabled Veteran Why They Stormed Her Home. There are still
no answers from the FBI on why they found it necessary to raid the home of a disabled US veteran
and shoot him dead on the morning of August 16th. Theodore Deschler was shot and killed when
FBI agents raided his home near Henderson, Tennessee. Now Deschler's family are looking for
answers. There is still no news from the government on why they had to break out the windows,
toss smoke bombs into the home, and then shoot Deschler who was unarmed at the time. The
story first broke on local WBBJ on August 16th. WBBJ was tipped off by a local viewer about
the shooting.
Edward
Snowden Suggests FBI Probably Already Has a File on Oliver Anthony. Edward Snowden,
who famously leaked classified information from the National Security Agency in 2013, recently
claimed that the FBI probably already has a file on singing sensation Oliver Anthony.
Millions of Americans who have become skeptical about the FBI in recent years will probably find
this easy to believe. Anthony's song 'Rich Men North of Richmond' has resonated with America
because it is so critical of government. That alone could spark the interest of the intel community.
Grieving
Mother Desperate For Answers After FBI Busts Down Door, Fatally Shoots Her Disabled Veteran Son in
Pre-Dawn Raid. A family is desperately seeking answers after FBI agents busted down
the door and killed their relative in a pre-dawn raid last week. The FBI is refusing to tell
a grieving mother why they showed up in armored vehicles at 6 am last Wednesday and fatally shot
her son. According to WBBJ, FBI agents showed up at a residence in Henderson, Tennessee to
serve a man named Theodore Deschler an arrest warrant when things turned deadly. A neighbor
told WBBJ he woke up at 6 am after he heard a loud bang.
Weak
Solutions for Government Corruption. Dan Crenshaw (R-Tx), who is on the House
"Intelligence Committee" suggested a solution to the problem of a corrupt FBI targeting of Trump
and conservatives[:] ["]When we reauthorise [the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act
(FISA)] too we are looking at changes in law that will take place, e.g., when you deliberately do
something wrong there needs to be some criminal offence to it as opposed to a fireable
offence.["] Crenshaw also states that "we need to do a better job vetting these
people." Crenshaw's solution is the standard one. We must be more careful in vetting FBI
agents and must pass more laws to regulate the behaviour of FBI agents. Although more vetting
and laws might be needed one should not deceive oneself that this will solve the problem. For
the current problem is not that there are not enough rules and laws to prevent corrupt behaviour.
Muskegon
Cover-Up: Gateway Pundit Investigators Find FBI Has Stalled Investigation and Silenced
Officials, No Prosecutions in 3 Years. Critical information for investigating the
Muskegon Michigan voter fraud in 2020 is being illegally withheld from public review.
Investigating systemic voter fraud in the 2020 election in Muskegon requires examining the
8,000-12,000 likely-fraudulent voter applications submitted by Biden campaign-financed GBI
Strategies in October 2020, but those files have been withheld from public review on the argument
that they are part of an 'ongoing investigation' by law enforcement. This tactic for evading
FOIA at the state and federal level is well-known, but its use here to deny access to public
records by removing them and not including a duplicate, is unique. According to far-left
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, these admittedly false and fraudulent voter applications
were never added to the voter rolls. But no one can know for sure because the files
themselves, in violation of state law, have been sealed and have been 'under investigation' by
Nessel's office and the FBI for three years for a criminal case with no prosecutions. There's
no way to know whether a fraudulent application wasn't approved or later resubmitted in a less
suspicious way in time to commit voter fraud in 2020.
Gang
violence update: another SWAT raid fatality. [Scroll down] Christoper Wray
claims that the decision to use SWAT teams is made locally. He testified, "Those decisions
are made — as they should be — by the commanders on the ground, in the field
office." Attorney General Merrick Garland said essentially the same thing: "The determinations of
how to make arrests under arrest warrants are made based by the tactical operators in the
district." Yet the similarities of these raids would mean that the "commanders on the ground"
were using the same playbook. That's the playbook written by the Soviet KGB. This playbook
recommends pre-dawn raids in which the arrested person is dazed and half-asleep. An enormous
show of force is advised to terrify neighbors. Military equipment, helicopters and tanks
emphasize the seriousness of the arrest. The raid on Joshua James's residence used an armored
vehicle with a turret, two vans, six FBI vehicles, and three local police cars. These raids
are an enormous expense. Top leaders cannot be unaware of this. Judge Andrew Napolitano
estimated the raid on Roger Stone cost approximately half a million dollars. It is not
unusual for SWAT raids to go terribly wrong. Innocent people, including children, have been
maimed and killed in their homes. The New York Times examined SWAT team raids in 2017 and
found that at least 81 civilians and 13 officers had died from 2010 through 2016 in such searches.
Fight
Over New FBI HQ Part of Larger Debate on Draining the Federal Swamp. As of now, House
Republicans have removed funds from the FY 2024 budget for the controversial $3.5 billion proposed
relocation of the FBI's Washington, D.C. headquarters to a new complex at one of three locations in
the D.C. suburbs of Virginia or Maryland. Some House Republicans want to keep the FBI
headquarters at its current location and view the relocation proposal as unwise and wasteful.
Others want to downsize, defund or eliminate the Bureau — and not to reward it with a
sprawling new headquarters complex — because they believe it has been weaponized against
conservatives. There also is growing support by Republicans to save money and depoliticize
U.S. government agencies by decentralizing them and moving most of their personnel out of the
"Washington swamp" (the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area) to locations across the U.S.
Several
FBI offices contributed to anti-Catholic memo, refuting Wray's testimony, GOP says.
House Republicans say FBI documents they've obtained prove that several field offices contributed
to a memo that targeted traditionalist Catholics as "potential terrorists," conflicting with recent
sworn testimony from FBI Christopher Wray. Republican leadership on the House Judiciary
Committee revealed in a letter sent to Wray on Wednesday that said the document they subpoenaed
from the agency details how "both FBI Portland and FBI Los Angeles field offices were involved in
or contributed to the creation of FBI's assessment of traditional Catholics as potential domestic
terrorists." "This new information suggests that the FBI's use of its law enforcement
capabilities to intrude on American's First Amendment rights is more widespread than initially
suspected," Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and co-chair Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., wrote in the letter.
Christopher
Wray's FBI: First They Came for the Catholics. So, it appears that FBI Director
Christopher Wray's July 12 testimony before the House Judiciary Committee was essentially hot,
flaming garbage. RedState has covered the holes that Congress poked through his claims and
testimony versus actual documents and subpoenaed records. Here's a punch list:
• Wray lied that the FBI did not surveil parents at school board meetings.
FBI agent Steve Friend called out Wray on Twitter, even alleging that he was probably suspended because he
testified to Congress about it.
• Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz questioned Wray about the FBI's use of improper
or illegal FISA queries to surveil American citizens. Wray claimed he did not know how many times
the FBI had done this, despite plenty of records that showed the exact number.
• California Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat, actually grilled Wray about
buying data from commercial sources without a proper warrant. Wray responded that "It's
complicated," but, as per usual, did not give a straight response.
• Another California Representative, Republican Kevin Kiley, focused his time on
the FBI targeting parents at school board meetings and the infamous National School Board Association
letter, which set off the labeling of parents as domestic terrorists. Wray refused to apologize
for the FBI's role in the affair, and he also refused to say whether Attorney General Merrick Garland
should apologize to parents for this overreach.
Trump's
Second Term: The First 24 Hours. [#1] Strip the FBI of its arrest
powers. The FBI as FBI is irredeemable. After willingly colluding to become a
GESTAPO-like entity happy to lie on secret FISA-surveillance warrants, raid a former President's
home and target innocent parents at schoolboard meetings, it cannot be allowed to survive with the
powers it has. Whilst cleaning out the huge organization will take weeks and months, its
ability to persecute politically must be neutered instantly. As Steve Friend, courageous FBI
whistleblower has recently written, the FBI's agents must be stripped of their status as 1811
federal police officers. No badges, no guns. Instead, they can go back to their
original remit: investigating, not being a domestic intelligence agency targeting American citizens
because they're Catholics, or worked for President Trump, or are pro-life. Then, if the FBI
wants to arrest someone because they're a "threat" they'll have to convince a local police chief or
sheriff of their case, a local law officer who isn't part of the DC Swamp.
FBI
Lied About Extensive Meetings with Zuckerberg's Platform About Hunter Biden 'Laptop from
Hell'. The FBI lied about the extent of its communications with Facebook regarding
the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020, newly disclosed communications from the tech company
reveal. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) says that the FBI's claim it only met with Facebook once
about Biden's "Laptop from Hell" are "completely false." This is the latest installment in
Rep. Jim Jordan's "Facebook Files," a series of internal communications from the social
networking platform obtained through a subpoena by the House Judiciary Committee, which Jordan
chairs. In a sworn deposition in the Missouri v. Biden case, FBI special agent Elvis
Chan, who is the main conduit between the bureau and big tech companies, claimed that apart from
one instance, he was not aware of any meetings between Facebook and the FBI regarding the Hunter
Biden laptop story.
Disgraced
FBI official who probed Trump-Russia ties set to plead guilty to illegally working for Russian
oligarch. Disgraced FBI agent Charles McGonigal — who investigated the
Trump campaign's alleged ties to Moscow in 2016 — is slated to take a guilty plea in the
case accusing him of illegally working for a Russian oligarch. "The court has been informed
that defendant Charles McGonigal may wish to enter a change of plea," Manhattan federal Judge
Jennifer Rearden wrote in a brief order filed Monday, scheduling a hearing for Aug. 15.
McGonigal, 54, — a former top FBI counterintelligence agent based in New York —
was indicted in January on charges including money laundering and violating US sanctions by working
for Russian billionaire and business magnate Oleg Deripaska, including trying to get him taken off
of the US sanctions list.
Judge
orders Catherine Herridge to reveal sources for stories on FBI, Chinese American scientist.
A federal judge ordered CBS News senior correspondent Catherine Herridge to reveal her sources for a
series of stories about the FBI's investigation of a Chinese American scientist back when she worked
for Fox News. The order last week from U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington D.C.
comes after scientist Yanping Chen filed a lawsuit against the FBI, claiming that the agency violated
the privacy act by improperly leaking information about her. While working at Fox News in 2017,
Herridge used a confidential source or sources to obtain material about the federal counterintelligence
probe of Chen.
House
chairman accuses FBI of lying about social media contacts involving Hunter Biden
laptop. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan released new evidence Monday
that he said shows the FBI lied about meeting with Big Tech companies before the 2020 election to
discuss Hunter Biden's laptop, a story that social media companies were censoring at the
time. The "FBI LIED ABOUT MEETING WITH BIG TECH REGARDING NY POST'S HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP
STORY," Jordan wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Jordan published documents
showing the FBI's comments on the Hunter Biden story when it first broke and how FBI Special Agent
Elvis Chan testified about his meetings with Facebook representatives. Chan and Foreign
Influence Task Force Section Chief Laura Dehmlow met with Facebook on Oct. 14, 2020, the day the
New York Post published its story on the Hunter Biden laptop. Dehmlow met with both Twitter
and Facebook that day.
The FBI Loses the Public.
Conservatives no longer trust the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Liberals — or
more precisely progressives — no longer trust the local police. We have a
problem. The tension between too much domestic security and too little runs back to the
country's founding. It often finds its way to the Supreme Court in cases involving the Fourth
Amendment's protections against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. Those
debates can be intense, but ultimately the system adjusts. What's going on now is
different. The U.S. is already amid a crisis of confidence in what we call our governing
institutions. That word, governing, is taken for granted, but it took a long time for
governing to become a fact of daily life. Consider the opposite of governing
elsewhere — mayhem, chaos, anarchy. We may be inching closer than we imagine to
the opposite of governing.
Our
Government Has Been Covering Up Its Crimes For A Very Long Time. Sibel Edmonds is a
former contract translator for the FBI. She went to work as a Turkish and Farsi translator for the
FBI five days after 9/11 with a top-level security clearance. Then, she revealed the scale of
blackmail directed at high-level government officials. In April 2002, she was unceremoniously
fired. [...] Edmonds said that, after 9/11, the translation unit was ordered to deliberately slow
its work and let documents pile up so that the FBI could request more money! According to
Sen. Grassley, who was also interviewed on the same show, other people in the FBI "corroborated
a lot of her story." The FBI hired Jan Dickerson as another Turkish translator with a
high-level security clearance. The FBI later admitted that, when it hired her, it was
totally unaware she'd worked for a Turkish organization that was being investigated by the FBI's
own counter-intelligence unit! Even more astounding, the FBI apparently didn't know she'd had
a relationship with a Turkish intelligence officer stationed in Washington who was the target of
that investigation. When Edmonds checked Dickerson's translations, she discovered serious
flaws, including omitting the fact that the Turkish intelligence officer was running spies in the
State Department and The Pentagon!!!
How
To Create Conspiracy Theories. Normally, distinguished government heads of hallowed
bureaus carefully weigh in on investigations to warn against idle speculations and convulsed
conspiracies. But who currently in Washington could be sure of any such voice since our most
esteemed intelligence and investigative directors are admitted liars? Former FBI Director
James Comey feigned amnesia in congressional testimony. He passed off a dossier he knew to be
fallacious as genuine evidence to a FISA court. His successor Andrew McCabe lied on four
occasions to federal investigators. Current Director Christopher Wray has continually
stonewalled congressional oversight committees. Special counsel and former FBI Director
Robert Mueller preposterously claimed he knew nothing of the Steele dossier or Fusion GPS.
FISA
Report: FBI Continues to Violate FISA and Improperly Sought Information on Senator and
Judge. [Scroll down] Now, a FISA order indicates that the FBI searched the
data of a U.S. Senator, a state senator, and a judge. Notably, in his recent testimony, FBI
Director Christopher Wray tried to blame his predecessor James Comey for the abuses, a claim that
was recently undermined in the targeting of Republican staff members. Now, it is equally
clear that the abuses have continued on his watch. FBI employees searched foreign
surveillance data for the last names of a U.S. senator and a state senator. It also searched
the Social Security number of a state judge who alleged civil rights violations by a municipal
chief of police, according to the opinion by the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court. The problem is that Wray has continued to refuse to answer the most basic
questions about the FISA abuses, including a baffling denial that he even knew what "parallel
construction" means in his testimony before this Committee this week. It was akin to the head
of the CDC saying that she did not know what "gain-of-function" research means.
How
the Democrats and Media Enablers Censor News. [Scroll down] Starting prior
to the 2020 election and lasting until this week, the FBI bottled up evidence that President Biden,
beginning in 2009 when he was vice-president, received substantial bribes from foreign governments
that he had threatened. Last week Senator Chuck Grassley made public a redacted version of
FBI Form 1023 detailing a number of damaging accusations from an FBI informant, accusations
buttressed by bank records, with a promise of more to come. Grassley wants to know why the
FBI failed to investigate these credible allegations and hid them from Congress and the American
people. Guess! I think it's for the same reason the FBI never investigates what appear
to be multiple crimes by Hunter Biden on his laptop, which the agency knew was authentic at the
time that 51 fomer IC officials publicly claimed it was "likely Russian disinformation," a claim
concocted by the Hillary Clinton campaign. And for the same reason the reporter who broke the
story about the laptop Hunter left at a computer repair shop was muzzled by the government, social
media, and legacy media.
FBI
Inappropriately Used Spy Powers On U.S. Senator, Court Says. The FBI inappropriately
searched for information on a U.S. senator using an intelligence provision intended for monitoring
foreign nationals, a court opinion released Friday shows. The opinion from the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court said that the FBI improperly searched a database for information on
an unidentified U.S. senator, state senator, and judge. The FBI conducted the searches under
powers derived from Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, but the conditions
for the searches were not met, the judge said, according to The Hill.
The
Time for a New Church Committee Is Way Overdue. On September 16, 1975, Senator Frank
Church (D-ID) opened the first public hearing of the Senate Select Committee to Study Government
Operations [the Church Committee] in the ornate Senate Caucus Room in the Russell Senate Office
Building, the storied site of the Watergate hearings and the inquiry into the Pearl Harbor attacks.
[...] The Durham report's conclusion that the 2017-2019 Mueller "Russian collusion" investigation
was seriously flawed understates the degree to which, in the intervening 40-plus [years], the
Department of Justice has politicized justice. The DOJ created the code-named Operation
Crossfire Hurricane as an FBI counterintelligence operation, not a criminal investigation, to allow
FBI agents to work with the CIA, NSA, and foreign intelligence officers to dethrone the Trump
presidency. Today, our law enforcement and intelligence operations are intertwined in their
joint conviction that woke neo-Marxist policies take precedence over traditional American
values. We should no longer be surprised by seeing the FBI take a knee to Black Lives Matter
or the CIA developing a "WELCO-ME!" theme for Pride Month 2023.
FBI
Told Twitter Hunter Biden Laptop Was Real on Day It Was Censored. House Judiciary
committee Republicans revealed Thursday that a senior FBI official told Twitter that Hunter Biden's
laptop was real and not Russian disinformation on the day the social-media company censored a
New York Post story relying on emails from that laptop. Laura Dehmlow, the now-section
chief of the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), confirmed in a closed-door deposition that
when Twitter asked whether the laptop was real, an official said: "Yes, it was." An FBI lawyer on
the call then promptly jumped in and said: "No further comment." According to Dehmlow, internal
deliberations were held after that call in which the decision was made that FITF would say "no
comment" going forward. Later on the same day, there was a call between the FBI and social-media
company Meta in which the agency declined comment when asked if the laptop was real.
FBI
whistleblower: FBI headquarters tipped Hunter off, prevented interview. A new FBI
whistleblower has confirmed that FBI headquarters and the Secret Service colluded to keep Hunter
Biden from having to do an interview with the agents investigating his illegal activities.
Surprise, surprise, surprise. [Tweet] I am sure this will be the straw that breaks the
camel's back, leading the MSM to hop on the bandwagon and start demanding answers from the FBI and
begin digging into the clear politicization of the nation's law enforcement apparatus, right?
After all, the media could be forgiven for covering for the FBI after the FISA court rebuked the
agency for lying to them. And after the Inspector General report detailed massive incompetence
and political bias. And after the Durham Report blew the lid off the Crossfire Hurricane
fiasco. And after multiple whistleblowers revealed the political machinations that kept Hunter
Biden nearly free and clear after his uncountable felonies, most were caught on tape and many were
put down in his own words.
Alabama or Texas? Wouldn't
it be a hoot if FBI HQ moved to Huntsville? The Federal Bureau of Instigation
Investigation has been agitating for a new headquarters — had you heard? The
concrete behemoth the FBI has been operating out of since the Ford administration is supposedly
"crumbling." [...] The GOP members in the House have noticed what the FBI has been doing for quite
some time now. They've even been taking notes. They are displeased, to say the least,
not just with FBI actions, but with attitudes when asked to account for such actions. That
leaves Republican representatives in a mood to make things uncomfortable. If we're really
lucky, they will actually say "No" to something... [Tweet] ...and follow through. What a
delightful concept that would be. Being entrenched Swamp Rats, FBI bureaucrats are very much
used to dictating how and where taxpayer funds allocated to them are spent, and this case was going
to be no different.
FBI
told Hunter Biden investigator to duck Committee questions, bombshell letter shows.
The FBI warned a supervisory agent who investigated Hunter Biden that he was expected to "decline
to respond" to House Oversight Committee questions about the "ongoing" case involving the first
son, a bombshell letter obtained by The [New York] Post shows. FBI general counsel Jason
Jones sent the letter Sunday afternoon, just hours before the agent was set to testify —
even though a source tells The Post that the FBI knew of a scheduled Monday deposition for several
days. "[T]he Department expects that you will decline to respond to questions seeking
non-public information likely covered by one or more components of executive privilege or other
significant confidentiality interests, in particular information about deliberations or ongoing
investigative activity in law enforcement matters," Jones wrote.
The
inside story of how the FBI's top brass intervened to protect top Democrats. Jerry
Dunleavy, an excellent political reporter at the Washington Examiner, has used Twitter to publish
what he correctly labels a "scoop," and he has crafted a must-read. Using my words,
not his, he found a source, "a former FBI official from the counterintelligence world," who
explained how a notable coverup worked. He eschews such conclusory language and wisely sticks
to a straightforward facts-first reporting style. FBI agents started investigating potential
Chinese spies Russel Lowe and Fang Fang, who had gotten very close to Dianne Feinstein and Eric
Swalwell, respectively.
House
Republicans Move To Cut Funding For FBI, Protect Whistleblowers. House Republicans
have moved to cut $1 billion in funding for the FBI and protect federal whistleblowers as lawmakers
continue to question the bureau over its treatment of conservatives. The bill introducing the
cuts was passed by Republicans on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice,
Science, and Related Agencies and was opposed by Democrats on the committee. If the bill,
which could face an uphill battle in the Senate and from the White House, becomes law it would cut
FBI funding by about 9%.
10
Paradigm Shifts that Shatter Establishment Illusions. [#8] There is no faster way
to destroy trust in a nation's institutions than to use the criminal justice system as a machine
for targeting political enemies. Yet that is exactly what the FBI, the Department of
(in)Justice, and their unethical allies donning black robes, have done. In any country
suffering from corruption, a telltale sign is when agency heads choose to rebuke ordinary citizens
for no longer having faith in the system. A healthy system, in contrast, never fears public
challenge. The people, upon whose consent government legitimacy rests, have a duty to call
out corruption. Consider it an admission of guilt, then, when FBI director Wray or Attorney
General Garland condemns Americans for correctly noticing their two-tiered application of "justice."
Vivek
Ramaswamy Explains How He'd Shut Down The FBI Without Congressional Permission.
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said Friday that a president already had the
power to shut down agencies, including the FBI, without going through Congress. Ramaswamy
previously expressed support for shutting down the FBI following the release of a report by Special
Counsel John Durham on the origins of the FBI investigation of allegations that former President
Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign colluded with Russia. He also has vowed to pardon
people convicted in what he called "politicized prosecutions," including former President Donald
Trump. "I'm coming in with a clear-sighted view, Glenn, of shutting down most of the
administrative state," Ramaswamy told talk show host Glenn Beck shortly after his interview with
Tucker Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and Daily Caller News Foundation. "First of
all, do it on strong legal authority, so I'm a unique combination. I don't like to brag a
lot, but I'm a CEO, but I've also studied the Constitution deeply and the Supreme Court right now
shares my view of the Constitution."
One
day after Wray stonewalled Congress, another FBI scandal erupts. The latest
revelation came through happenstance; Google has a policy of notifying users of law enforcement
actions taken against their accounts 5 years after the actions are taken. And for Kash Patel,
the chief investigator on then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, the 5-year limit
was reached in late 2022. [Tweet] Just the News reported on the subpoenas and their
political nature in December. As you may recall, Devin Nunes was a bulldog investigating the
abuses of power deployed to "get" President Trump by the federal law enforcement and intelligence
communities — abuses that have been confirmed after years of denials. Apparently,
the FBI didn't like that (go figure), and then-Director James Comey's FBI decided to snoop on
Nunes' committee staffers by subpoenaing their emails without their knowledge.
FBI
Retaliated Against Two Nunes Staffers in 2017 While They were Investigating Bureau for Russia
Collusion Hoax. The FBI spied on two of then-GOP Rep. Devin Nunes's staffers
while they were investigating the bureau for misconduct related to Spygate. House Judiciary
Chairman Jim Jordan sent FBI Director Christopher Wray a letter suggesting the Bureau retaliated
against two of Nunes's staffers for the House Intel's oversight of the FBI. Recall, Nunes,
who served as the House Intel Committee's chairman from January 2015 to January 2019, vigorously
investigated Russiagate. Nunes investigated the FBI's role in Russiagate/Spygate and released
a memo revealing Hillary Clinton's fake dossier formed an essential part in obtaining FISA warrants
to spy on Trump.
Whistleblower:
FBI brass hid identities of Jan. 6 informants. Top brass at the FBI said that
the identities of "problematic" confidential informants who were involved in reporting to the
bureau from the Jan. 6, 2021 protest should be kept from the public, a whistleblower told the
House Judiciary Committee. The whistleblower, an FBI agent, told the committee that Deputy
Director Paul Abbate suggested that at least 25 FBI confidential human sources who were at the U.S.
Capitol on Jan. 6 should not be publicly acknowledged. Abbate notified one or more of
his subordinates that the informants"were too problematic or embarrassing" and that the existence,
activities, and identities of these FBI confidential human sources should not be released,
according to the whistleblower disclosure sent to the committee.
FBI
is Overwhelmed with Reports on Their Own Criminal Activity. The FBI is the leading criminal organization in America today!
The FBI:
** Spied on President Trump based on phony information
** Lied to the American people about spying on Trump
** Hid the Hunter laptop
** Still can't find the Hunter laptop
** Lied about the laptop
** Lied to the American public during Trump's impeachment knowing Trump did nothing wrong
** Sent operatives to the US Capitol on January 6
** Infiltrated the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers
** Raided homes of their political opposition
** Raided the opposition candidate's home on junk charges
** Ignored Hunter Biden's hundreds of crimes
** Set up poor white men in Michigan
** Ignored Biden Family treasonous deals
** Lied about investigating the criminal acts in the 2020 election
The
FBI Asks Americans to Report Crimes. Things Go About as Well as You'd Expect.
Officer, Americans would like to report the Biden Administration's FBI for the act of social media
trolling. After all, that must explain why the "premier law enforcement agency" and
political monkey wenchers that interfered with the 2016, 2020, and 2024 presidential elections
laughably issued an appeal for Americans to come forward and report crimes. The FBI issued a
tweet that used a flowery script against a mauve pink background inviting Americans to "Speak Now."
"Justice is better than revenge," the FBI's tweet stated. "You may not be Superman, but you can
help the #FBI protect the country. If you have information about a federal crime, speak now."
The tweet also asked a question: "Do you have tip about a federal crime?" Then it listed a
number of crimes, followed by the curious words "FBI's Version."
How
to Fix the FBI. The recently published Durham Report officially confirms what was
already widely known: Without any proper or credible predicate, the FBI launched a partisan
political effort to derail the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump while simultaneously
acting to protect Trump's Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, from serious legal jeopardy.
Under the cloak of a "counterintelligence" investigation codenamed Crossfire Hurricane, FBI
Director James Comey, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and the FBI's leadership team employed the
Bureau's powerful intelligence-gathering authorities to target the Trump election campaign.
Relying on frivolous and unsubstantiated claims of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign,
including the wildly ludicrous fantasies set out in the so-called Steele Dossier, an
opposition-research product commissioned by Democratic Party operatives (which may itself have been
Russian influenced), Director Comey and the FBI advanced the Russia collusion narrative through
deliberate leaks of information to the media, misleading statements to Congress and the public, and
a falsified application for secret FISA surveillance of Trump associate Carter Page.
Mark
Levin Goes Nuclear: 'We Must Break the Back of the DOJ!' In his weekly show on Fox,
"Life, Liberty, and Levin," Mark Levin opened his show this Sunday [7/9/2023] breathing fire in his
monologue. Levin started by calling the Department of Justice under President Joe Biden and
Attorney General Merrick Garland a rogue operation, controlled by the Democrat party and the
radical left. By the time he got to the first commercial break, one could almost see smoke
wafting in the studio. Levin's anger at the weaponization of the federal government under
Biden and Garland has clearly caused him grave concern for the future of the republic. "If we
don't BREAK THE BACK of the Department of Justice," he declared, "it will destroy this country!"
FBI
Agents Thought Swalwell Had 'Sexual Relationship' with Fang Fang, But Dem Senators Halted Probe:
Report. Jerry Dunleavy, author of Kabul: The Untold Story of Biden's Fiasco,
and former Justice reporter at the Washington Examiner, revealed a disturbing new "scoop" about the
FBI's alleged investigation into House Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and his purported ties
to a Chinese intelligence-connected woman known as "Fang Fang." The report raises the alarming
possibility that the Justice department politicized yet another investigation into an elected
Democratic official. "Scoop: Some new details below on the Chinese spying sagas related to
Eric Swalwell and Dianne Feinstein — and on the FBI's handling of the allegations,"
Dunleavy wrote in a lengthy thread.
Enough!
[Scroll down] but what they were really saying is: Don't stand at all, not with him,
not with anyone, just sit back and complain, provide evidence after evidence that the FBI killed
Vickie Weaver over a low-level gun charge; that the ATF and FBI torched 76 people in Waco, TX,
including 25 children; that OKC was an inside job. How many of these things have happened
over and over again at the hands of an out of control domestic terror organization call the FBI?
The
strangest thing about January 6th. The one person in America that the FBI can't find is the
person who planted the phony "pipe bombs" in Washington DC on January 5, 2021. [Video clip]
The
Bidens' Existential Threats to the American Rule of Law. President Joe Biden, the
Biden grifting conglomerate, the Department of Justice, and the FBI under its fourth consecutive
weaponized director, are in danger of subverting the American system of law. They are in
various ways undermining the tradition of self-reported income tax computation and voluntary
compliance. Our tax institutions, of course, are based on the real deterrence of a
disinterested, uncompromised Internal Revenue Service. Without it, the income revenues of the
United States are existentially threatened. So far, any negative reputation of the IRS has
rested with natural complaints that it is too zealous in hounding out American taxpayers in all
walks of life. Or citizens often object that the IRS must enforce a tax code that is innately
unfair. But not until now, has the IRS itself ever been under a shadow of such
corruption? Has it been in the past ever found to have applied so blatantly and deliberately
one standard of tax enforcement to elites and quite another to everyday Americans?
Matt
Gaetz: FBI Tries to 'Placate the Mob' With Agents Kneeling at BLM Rallies.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said FBI agents appeared to try to "placate the mob" when agents were
seen kneeling during the 2020 Black Lives Matter rallies — some of which turned into
riots. "In the late spring and early summer of 2020, a nationwide series of violent riots swept
across the United States, causing millions of dollars in property damage. These coordinated
riots also involved the violent assault on numerous law enforcement personnel," Gaetz wrote in a
letter Tuesday to FBI Director Christopher Wray. The Daily Signal first reported in April
that at least two FBI agents were promoted to higher jobs after kneeling at Black Lives Matter
events in Washington, D.C. The Gaetz letter notes that BLM rioters in May 2020 threw rocks,
urine, and alcohol at United States Secret Service Agents, injuring over 60 of them, while some
scaled the barriers to the White House and Department of the Treasury complex.
Whistleblower's
memo reveals the FBI knew the contents of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop but sat on the
information for years. The FBI first learned of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, full
of incriminating data, in October 2019, an IRS memo shows. The memo, written by senior IRS
Criminal Investigation official Gary Shapley in 2020, reveals how senior law enforcement officers
sat on the treasure trove of evidence from the First Son's computer and waited months before handing
over mere excerpts to investigators working the case. It also directly contradicts an open letter
from 51 top former intelligence officials published weeks ahead of the 2020 presidential election
which dismissed the laptop as having 'all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation'.
Idaho
GOP Unanimously Passes Resolution Condemning the FBI — Calls For "Abolition" of "Corrupt
Government Agency". In a surprising and unprecedented move, the Idaho Republican
Party has taken a strong stance against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), by passing a
resolution a condemning the "corrupt government agency" and calling for its abolition if it is
deemed that the agency cannot be reformed. The resolution passed unanimously out of the body
which is comprised of 216 elected Republican representatives, contained a laundry list of excesses,
abuses, and unconstitutional overreaches which the resolution alleges has "undermined the trust
that the American people have in their government."
Whistleblower:
FBI Tipped Off 'People Very Close' To Joe And Hunter Before IRS Investigative Team's 'Day Of
Action'. The night before an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) criminal investigation
team began looking into Hunter Biden's tax crimes was set to conduct key interviews and approach
Hunter for a consented search of his home, FBI headquarters allegedly tipped off "people very close
to President Biden and Hunter Biden," thwarting the investigation, according to a whistleblower
testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee released Thursday. Starting in January 2020,
IRS criminal supervisory special agent and whistleblower Gary Shapley and his team of agents began
investigating Hunter Biden for tax evasion after incriminating material was found on Hunter's
infamous laptop. "I am alleging, with evidence, that DOJ provided preferential treatment,
slow-walked the investigation, did nothing to avoid obvious conflicts of interest in this
investigation," Shapley told the committee.
Who
is lying? Merrick Garland or the whistleblowers? "I'm not the deciding
official." Those five words, allegedly from Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, shocked IRS
and FBI investigators in a meeting on October 22, 2022. This is because, in refusing to appoint a
special counsel, Attorney Garland Merrick Garland had repeatedly assured the public and Congress
that Weiss had total authority over his investigation. IRS supervisory agent Gary A. Shapley
Jr. told Congress he was so dismayed by Weiss's statement and other admissions that he memorialized
them in a communication to other team members. Shapley and another whistleblower detail what
they describe as a pattern of interference with their investigation of Hunter Biden, including the
denial of searches, lines of questioning, and even attempted indictments. The only thing
abundantly clear is that someone is lying. Either these whistleblowers are lying to Congress,
or these Justice Department officials (including Garland) are lying.
Did
The FBI Prevent Delaware Agents From Investigating Biden Bribery Allegations?
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, rarely asks a question to which he doesn't know the answer.
When the question concerns the politicization and weaponization of the FBI, you can bet some
[embarrassing] information rests behind his query. So when Grassley asked on Thursday whether
bribery was within the parameters of Delaware's investigation into Hunter Biden, it likely means
the FBI defined the scope of the federal investigation into the president's son so narrowly that
agents lacked the authority to properly probe a "highly credible" confidential human source's
reporting implicating the Biden family. Specifically, the CHS reported that Hunter and Joe
Biden each received $5 million in bribes from the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma.
Do
Any Republicans Really Think DeSantis Won't Get Impeached Or Framed By The FBI?
Anyone who has been watching for seven years — and counting — has seen the
nation's top Republican politician framed, impeached, raided, prosecuted, and now indicted by
corrupt spy agencies on behalf of the Democrat Party. Their goal is to send their top
political opponent to prison on charges they said were fascist to bring against their own
presidential candidates. After these last seven years, how can anyone not expect that any
Republican who questions the unelected, Congress-defying security state won't get the Trump
treatment? If they can and will do it to Trump, they can and will do it to Ron DeSantis,
Vivek Ramaswamy, Robert Kennedy Jr., and anyone else who threatens their power.
The
FBI May Be Using Evidence as Leverage Against the White House. As the story has
unfolded, the Confidential Human Source who tipped off the FBI to Joe Biden taking bribes from
foreign governments, also claims to have audio tapes of himself talking to Joe Biden about the
issues when Biden was vice-president. The FBI has been sitting on this Biden bribery
knowledge for multiple years. The most common opinion of the FBI motive was their intent to
burying or capture negative information about Biden. However, with the institutional
corruption of the domestic national security apparatus being very visible within DOJ and FBI, Lee
Smith ponders whether the FBI/DOJ might be holding back the Biden bribery material as part of their
leverage against the White House. It is an interesting angle to consider. [Podcast]
J6
Pipe Bomber Story Goes Boom. It remains the greatest unsolved mystery related to the
events of January 6: Who placed pipe bombs near the headquarters of both the Democratic
National Committee and Republican National Committee the night before? [...] But despite
sophisticated surveillance tools including geofence warrants that were at D'Antuono's
disposal — methods the FBI continues to use to this day in its ongoing manhunt for
January 6 protesters — the trail went cold. So, too, did the national news
media's interest in the story. The January 6 Select Committee completely ignored the
pipe bomb threats, relegating the story to two mentions buried deep in the final report's
appendix. D'Antuono's bluster notwithstanding, his office conducted a halfhearted inquiry at
best. And now the public knows why. During an interview with the House Judiciary
Committee earlier this month, D'Antuono disputed claims the bombs were planted to divert law
enforcement presence away from the Capitol just before protesters assembled outside the building, a
view commonly shared at the time.
FBI:
We have "no idea" if there are any Biden bribery tapes. When Chuck Grassley first
made his startling claims that tape recordings might exist of conversations between a Burisma boss
and both Joe and Hunter Biden discussing bribery, the conservative media immediately took
notice. Sadly, it was almost exclusively conservative media outlets. A couple of plucky
reporters did try asking Biden about it, but he did nothing more than laugh and walk away. So
as usual, it was left to the Republicans in Congress to try to get more information.
Yesterday, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate was being questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee,
and Tennessee Republican Marsha Blackburn asked him about the allegations coming from the FD-1023
form and the possibility that such tapes might exist. Abbate did not appear to be interested
in the topic and said that he had "no idea" if that was true.
The
FBI is Now a Democrat SuperPAC. The FBI's mission is "To protect the American people
and uphold the U.S. Constitution." Their motto is "Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity".
How is the FBI doing on these fronts? What are they protecting the American people
from? Are they upholding the Constitution? Who is their fidelity to? Do they act
with integrity? The current FBI fails on all these counts. They have morphed from the
premier law enforcement agency in the world to a Democrat party superPAC. Start with
revelations from the Durham, and previously the Weissman/Mueller reports. The FBI knowingly
and deliberately used bogus and unverified opposition research from the Clinton campaign to spy on
Donald Trump's presidential campaign, his transition, and then his administration. The FBI
lied to FISA courts to obtain warrants to spy on those within Trump's orbit. Some were
entrapped, as was Gen. Michael Flynn, and prosecuted. Others received visits by FBI
agents or SWAT teams, such as Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, and Rudy Giuliani, to intimidate and
harass them for the sin of supporting Donald Trump. Have any Democrats been treated similarly?
Former
Head of FBI J6 Pipe Bomb Investigation Comes Clean With Stunning Admission: "I Don't Want Any
Conspiracy Theories, Right?". We recently reported on the remarkable fact that former
senior FBI official Steven D'Antuono voluntarily submitted himself before the judiciary committee
and raised powerful objections to the Mar a Lago raid that serves as the basis of the sham
indictment of President Trump. We reported that the most remarkable part of this story is not
the objections themselves, but Steven D'Antuono's identity — indeed, D'Antuono has long
been a subject of Revolver News' reporting as the man who oversaw the investigation into the
infamous entrapment operation known as the Michigan Kidnapping plot and the equally bogus
investigation into the so-called January 6 pipe bombs. Finally, we said that we haven't
heard the last from Mr. D'Antuono. Now, we are in a position to reveal that Mar-a-Lago
is not the only subject matter D'Antuono discussed with the committee, and that Revolver News'
Darren Beattie worked with Congressman Thomas Massie to produce questions concerning the pipe bomb
investigation for D'Antuono to answer. A letter recently published by Jim Jordan alludes to
some of the stunning results of this interrogation.
Steven
D'Antuono: The FBI's Hatchet Man. Defense attorneys representing two men recently
convicted for conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 are seeking a new
federal trial for their clients amid claims of jury and judicial misconduct. (The men, Adam Fox and
Barry Croft were found guilty in August in a second trial; a jury in April failed to reach a
verdict on them. Two co-defendants were acquitted after jurors concluded the men had been
entrapped by the FBI.) A separate state trial for three other men accused of participating in the
scheme is now underway in Jackson, Michigan. The ongoing legal drama is a reminder of the
handiwork of Steven D'Antuono, former head of the Detroit FBI field office, which was primarily
responsible for hatching and executing the Whitmer fednapping hoax. Supervising and
undercover agents working out of that Detroit office and its satellite branches managed the
day-to-day details of the wide-ranging operation such as handling the main FBI informant, Dan
Chappel, who was compensated at least $60,000 in cash and personal items paid by the FBI for luring
the men into the trap.
FBI
Deputy Director Admits Redacting Mention of Joe and Hunter Biden Recordings in Document Shown to
Congress. FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate admitted during a Senate Judiciary
Committee hearing on Tuesday that the FBI redacted any mention of audio recordings of Joe and
Hunter Biden in a document shown last week to Republican lawmakers in which an FBI informant
alleged the Bidens were involved in a bribery scheme around 2015 and 2016. Under grilling from
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Abbate confirmed: "What I will tell you with respect to the
document, the document was redacted to protect the source." [Video clip]
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Monday revealed that the document, which was a transcript of an
FBI interview with an informant, contained references to 17 alleged audio recordings —
15 with Hunter Biden and two with then-Vice President Joe Biden. However, Grassley said, when
the document was made available to the House Oversight Committee last week under pressure from
Republicans, the references to the audio recordings had been deleted.
Visibly
Angry Ted Cruz Becomes All of Us While Laying Into the Deputy Director of the FBI.
The fireworks on Capitol Hill were vibrant today as Deputy Director of the FBI Paul Abbate paid a
visit to the US Senate. Republicans grilled him on the bureau's violation of trust with the
American people after recent reporting showed that the 702 surveillance powers the FBI now wants to
renew were illegally abused more than 278,000 times. But while Sen. Mike Lee took Abbate
apart methodically, the mood turned to abject anger when it was Ted Cruz's turn to ask
questions. The Texas senator grew visibly frustrated, his voice escalating, while laying into
the deputy director. Throughout the exchange, Abbate smugly refused to answer basic
questions. [Tweet with video clip]
After
The Last Seven Years, No One Believes The DOJ Is Acting In Good Faith. Mollie
Hemingway: ["]The larger context here is so important. I do think people would have be
enwilling to hear from the Department of Justice that they need to indict their top political
opponent, and hear that in good faith, if we had not experienced what we have from the past six
years from this Department of Justice. We have a Department of Justice that had Hillary
Clinton, who was never president and will never be a president, mishandling classified information
and they invented a new legal standard to simply to let her go. We have all the paperwork
disputes with President Obama, and President Clinton, we have thefts of documents from the National
Archives by a Clinton associate, and nothing has happened to those people. We have the
Russia-gate collusion-hoax in which the Department of Justice invented and participated in a
Democrat-invented conspiracy theory see to say Donald Trump was a traitor. This week, we
learned that Joe Biden was credibly accused by a very serious whistleblower of a $ million bribery
scheme and the FBI worked to cover it up.["]
Churches
MUST NOT criticize the government! Elections have been stolen. Our borders are
wide open. Innocent Americans are in Gulags. Our bureaucracies have been
weaponized. A show trial is underway for a former U.S President. Free speech has been
silenced. Courts and prosecutors are corrupted. The age Orwell predicted is upon
us. We face a new type of war. The FBI has signaled in the clearest possible manner it
does not care what the people or their elected representatives think. It will do what it
pleases, [the consequences notwithstanding.] The recently released Durham report paints a
graphic picture of an agency out of control. The FBI did not blunder into an investigation of
Donald Trump, his campaign, and his associates. The FBI undertook to deliberately destroy
Trump and those around him including General Flynn. The FBI took unto itself the power to
decide who could be President. The FBI no longer answers to the elected representatives of
the American people, nor does it care what they think. It did not get sloppy. It did
not make some errors in judgment. Its leaders decided that they were entitled to do whatever
they chose and to ignore our laws, our traditions, and the judgment of the nation's citizens.
Who's
Destroying Civic Norms Again? Trump? It wouldn't be election season without the
Department of (in)Justice setting people up and prosecuting fake crimes to influence voters.
In 2016, while shutting down numerous criminal investigations involving Hillary Clinton and the
Clinton Foundation, D.C.'s lawfare-waging politburo concocted an elaborate hoax blaming Russian
internet trolls for her embarrassing loss to a political outsider. Two weeks before the 2018
midterms, the FBI arrested a mentally unstable and childlike Cesar Sayoc for allegedly threatening
Trump opponents with pipe bombs made in his van/home. Just before the 2020 election, the FBI
announced that it had stopped a kidnapping plot against Democrat governor Gretchen
Whitmer — a "plot" that was planned primarily by undercover federal agents. And
the DOJ and FBI "carpet-bombed" Trump associates with J6 subpoenas, announced more J6 protester
arrests, and improperly raided the former president's Mar-a-Lago home in the run-up to the 2022
midterms. Covering up the crimes of Democrats, framing domestic political enemies, and
engaging in blatant election interference are what the FBI and DOJ now primarily do.
Muslims
Sue FBI for Religious Discrimination, Feds Base Their Defense on 'Secret Evidence'.
Now here's an interesting case. A group of Muslims is suing the FBI, claiming religious
discrimination over surveillance that the feds carried out a few years after 9/11. The hard-Left
ACLU and the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) are siding with the
plaintiffs, which ordinarily would be a massive red flag impugning their case, but the FBI's entire
case is based on its trustworthiness as an institution. And after all we have seen over the
last few years, can anyone really trust the FBI? Time Magazine reported Thursday that the
case is based on the activities of a reckless FBI informant and apparent entrapment artist named
Craig Monteilh, who pretended to convert to Islam and spied on several Southern California mosques.
Time notes that Monteilh, "who had served time for fraud, left his key fob and mobile phone in
places to record conversations when he was not around. He recorded hundreds of hours of video
inside mosques, homes, and businesses. He told two other Muslims that 'we should bomb something.'
He says he was told by his FBI handlers to date Muslim women and have sex with them to get more
information." Could the FBI really have been this clumsy and stupid? Why, yes.
Trump
[was] indicted, not Hillary, Hunter or Milley. The indictment of President Trump is
hooey. [...] Americans know the indictment is a set-up because those are the only crimes the FBI
can solve anymore. The January 6 protest became an insurrection thanks to FBI informants
and maybe even agents who egged people on. The FBI is best at covering up crimes.
Consider Hillary sending state secrets while secretary of state via email to foreign governments
and others who paid the troll via donations to her fake charity.
Republican
outrage over FBI swells as more problems about [the] bureau emerge. The nearly steady
flow of reports and leaks about alleged corruption and coverups within the FBI has resulted in a
growing chorus of criticism and calls for reform among Republican lawmakers. "There are good
people who work there," Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn said Wednesday [6/7/2023],
in support of what she considers patriotic employees in the bureau and the larger Justice
Department who continue to do good work. "But you've got this political cabal that is
weaponizing the FBI and DOJ against private citizens for their own political power," she said.
"That is why they're doing this, and people are appalled."
Russiagate
Redux: Grassley Calls Out FBI For Leaking False Narratives To Obstruct Biden Investigation.
Stop leaking to the media, peddling false narratives, and obstructing congressional oversight into
the FBI's handling of allegations that President Joe Biden was part of a criminal bribery scheme,
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told FBI Director Christopher Wray in a floor speech Tuesday.
"Quit playing games," Grassley said. "The Justice Department and FBI no longer deserve the
benefit of the doubt," he added, pointing to the FBI and Department of Justice's track record of
deception from the Russia-collusion hoax to the present. Wray "made one excuse after another
to not produce" the document detailing the bribery allegation against Biden, Grassley said, even
refusing to admit it existed until Grassley revealed to him that he'd already seen a copy.
The existence of the explosive allegation, which reportedly describes a Ukrainian energy concern
seeking to pay then-Vice President Biden $5 million in return for a policy decision during his time
as Ukrainian point man for the Obama administration, was revealed to Grassley by multiple FBI whistleblowers.
The
FBI's Manufactured Narrative for the Biden Corruption Investigation Has Collapsed.
Donald Trump might face another indictment, but Joe Biden might not be far behind him, or that
would be the case in a fair, sane world. Spencer wrote about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
(R-GA) detailing more shocking updates about the Biden corruption probe, specifically the $5 million
allegedly paid to him by a foreign national. Ms. Greene elaborated that these transactions
related to the shady Biden-Burisma arrangement. The person or persons involved reportedly have a
ledger of the bribes, and this deal allegedly formed the basis for Joe Biden wanting to fire the
original Ukrainian prosecutor looking into Burisma's business practices when he was vice president:
[Tweets] The real question is whether the Department of Justice, which is infested with pro-Biden,
Trump-hating lawyers, does anything. But the FBI, having been exposed for being a biased law
enforcement agency that will go out of its way to protect members of the Democratic Party, will not
be able to slither its way out of this one. The Durham Report compartmentalized all the nasty
deeds, lying, and illegal spying the FBI conducted during the Trump years to keep the Russian hoax
alive. We also know that top bureau agents have been interfering in any investigation involving
Hunter Biden, Joe, or other family members.
It's
James Comer's grit vs. Biden's grift as family corruption scandal intrigue heats up.
James Comer is a hero. It would be a lot easier for him to let sleeping dogs lie when it
comes to the Biden family corruption scandal and the even bigger scandal of the subsequent FBI/CIA
coverup which kept American voters in the dark about one of the two presidential candidates in the
2020 election. But with the backing of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Comer is right over the target
with his House Oversight Committee investigations, and his confrontation with the FBI is both
necessary and courageous. The FBI has become a law unto itself. Director Christopher
Wray has been thumbing his nose at congressional oversight in a way that demands reprimand, which
is exactly what Comer is delivering.
Bill
Barr Confirms Rep. Jamie Raskin Lied About Biden Family Corruption Investigation.
"It's not true. It wasn't closed down," William Barr told The Federalist on Tuesday [6/6/2023]
in response to Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin's claim that the former attorney general and his
"handpicked prosecutor" had ended an investigation into a confidential human source's allegation that
Joe Biden had agreed to a $5 million bribe. "On the contrary," Barr stressed, "it was sent
to Delaware for further investigation." Former Attorney General Barr went on the record with
The Federalist following statements Raskin made to the press Monday afternoon. Soon after
attending a closed-door meeting with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and the FBI —
at which lawmakers reviewed the FD-1023 form summarizing a CHS's detailed allegations that then-Vice
President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions —
Raskin spoke to the media.
House
Republicans pull back contempt charge against FBI director Wray over Biden doc. The
Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday called off a vote on a contempt
of Congress charge against FBI Director Christopher Wray, accepting a last-minute offer by the
bureau to allow the full committee access to a confidential document of an unverified tip about
President Joe Biden. Rep. James Comer said in a statement that the committee is removing
a contempt resolution against Wray from Thursday's schedule after receiving an accommodation that
would give the full committee access to the document. "Allowing all Oversight Committee members
to review this record is an important step toward conducting oversight of the FBI and holding it
accountable to the American people," the Kentucky Republican said. The action that played out
over the last month against Wray reflects a larger breakdown between Republicans and the FBI that
has only intensified this year, with some conservatives talking openly about trying to defund the bureau.
James
Comer: FBI Doc Alleges 'Business Person from Ukraine' Sent 'Substantial Bribe' to VP Biden.
The FBI's informant file of a $5 million bribery scheme allegedly linked to President Joe Biden
concerns the family's business deals in Ukraine, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY)
revealed Monday. In May, Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) made bombshell claims after
reviewing an FBI FD-1023 form that documented the informant's allegations of an alleged bribery scheme
involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Joe Biden and a foreign
national. Comer disclosed the informant tip is dated June 30, 2020.
FBI's
Biden bias is on full display as Wray fences with Republicans over 'bribe' doc.
"Trust but verify" was how Ronald Reagan described his view of agreements with the Soviet
Union. The same mindset should apply to dealing with the FBI, though recent history suggests
it's wiser to drop the "trust" part and go straight to "verify." The organization previously
known as the world's premier law enforcement agency is increasingly seen by many Americans as the
armed wing of the Democratic Party. Almost as troubling, no one in a position of authority in
the agency, the Justice Department or the White House seems to understand the long-term
implications or care enough to repair the FBI's shredded credibility. That's the big takeaway
from the agency's bitter battle with congressional Republicans.
FBI
Refuses to Give Physical Document to House Investigators Outlining Biden Bribery Scheme, Now Claim
"Ongoing Investigation". Here we go again with the ever-familiar silo defense.
The FBI is refusing to hand over the unclassified FD-1023 stating there is an ongoing investigation
using the confidential human source who made allegations outlined in the document. Remember,
the allegations and the statement record was created in July of 2020, almost three years ago.
Prior to last week, the FBI refused to say the 6-page unclassified document existed. After
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told FBI Director Chris Wray he had already seen the
unclassified document via a whistleblower, then Comey admitted the FBI indeed had it. Today,
the FBI is refusing to release the document, stating it is now captive as part of an "ongoing
investigation." The claimed investigation began July 2020 — the investigation is
"ongoing". Go figure.
'Highly
Credible' Source Reveals Scandal Bigger Than Biden Bribery: FBI Election Interference.
The confidential human source (CHS) behind the detailed allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden
agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions was reportedly "highly
credible" and used by the FBI in multiple criminal investigations dating back to the Obama
administration. Friday's exclusive by Fox News provides further insight into Sen. Chuck
Grassley's focus on the FBI — as opposed to the Biden family — as the primary
scandal in play. "We aren't interested in whether or not the accusations against [then]-Vice
President Biden are accurate," Grassley said during an interview last week discussing FBI Director
Christopher Wray's refusal to comply with the congressional subpoena issued for the FD-1023 form.
That form, dated June 30, 2020, included detailed information from a CHS to the FBI regarding an
agreement by now-President Biden to deliver preferred foreign policy positions for a $5 million payment.
No
Surprise: FBI Director Playing for Team Biden. Some years ago Kenneth Anger wrote a
book called "Hollywood Babylon" to expose the dark secrets of the nation's debauched film
capital. It's about time for an ambitious insider with a strong stomach for deceit and
hypocrisy to write a tome called "D.C. Babylon." One whole chapter could be dedicated to the modern
FBI and its labyrinth of corruption and calumny. Or perhaps it will take more than one
chapter considering the record of the FBI under the direction of James Comey and Christopher
Wray. Both men oversaw blatant exercises in election interference on behalf of Democrats, and
then either lied about it or pretended it never happened. It's almost as though they consider
themselves to be above the law.
Oversight
Chair Comer to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt of Congress over Biden doc alleging crime
scheme. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Monday he will begin the
process of holding FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress, despite viewing and being
briefed by bureau officials on the subpoenaed document that alleges President Joe Biden was
involved in a criminal bribery scheme. The FBI brought the document in question —
an FBI-generated FD-1023 form that allegedly describes a $5 million criminal scheme involving
then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy
decisions — to Capitol Hill on Monday for Comer, R-Ky., and ranking member Jamie Raskin,
D-Md., to review in a secure SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility), resulting from a
back-and-forth between committee Republicans and the bureau over whether it was in compliance of
his subpoena.
Comey
Warns Trump Might Use the Constitution Against Him and His Corrupt Friends. It is now
well established that the FBI has become thoroughly and possibly irreparably corrupt and
politicized, serving as a thuggish arm of the Leftist establishment rather than any kind of law
enforcement agency. Its decline accelerated during the tenure of the intensely partisan
Leftist apparatchik James Comey as FBI director, but in the six years since Donald Trump removed
Comey from office amid a storm of controversy, the lanky corruptocrat has shown not the slightest
hint of introspection, much less regret. Instead, he just went on MSNBC to warn that a new
Trump administration could see the president weaponizing the justice system. Well, Comey
certainly knows all about weaponizing federal agencies for partisan purposes.
Jamie
Raskin Refuses To Give Details About What Was In FBI Document Alleging Biden Corruption.
House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) did not directly dispute claims from
the Committee's chairman on Monday that an FBI document allegedly showing that then-Vice President
Joe Biden was engaged in a criminal bribery scheme is currently being used in an ongoing
investigation. Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said the FBI "confirmed that the
unclassified FBI generated record has not been disproven, and is currently being used in an ongoing
investigation." Speaking with reporters after meeting with the FBI, Raskin initially sought to
downplay the credibility of the document, calling it "second-hand hearsay." When asked if
Comer had told the truth about there being an ongoing investigation into Biden, Raskin said that
didn't know what Comer said but that he does know about the criminal investigation into Biden's
son, Hunter Biden, by the U.S. attorney in Delaware.
Republicans
launch CONTEMPT process against FBI director Wray after viewing Biden 'bribery' document.
House Republicans are officially starting contempt of Congress charges against FBI Director Chris Wray
for failing to turn over Biden 'bribery' document they claim shows then-Vice President Joe Biden was
involved in a $5 million 'criminal' scheme with a foreign national. The escalation comes after
the Republican and Democratic leaders of the House Oversight Committee were granted access by the FBI
Monday to view the FD-1023 form in a secure facility within the Capitol. The document apparently
details an 'arrangement' for an exchange of money for policy decisions. The Republicans issued a
subpoena for the FD-1023 form last month and FBI Director Chris Wray was given a hard deadline of
May 30 to hand over the unclassified document, which he did not comply with.
How
the FBI Lost, Found, and Rewarded the Alleged Russian Spy Pivotal to Snooping on Trump.
In RealClearInvestigations, Paul Sperry reports a hard-to-believe new embarrassment for the FBI in its
Russiagate debacle: An FBI counterintelligence agent lost track of a suspected Russian spy right under
the bureau's nose in the D.C. suburbs only to find him years later and then deceptively enlist him as
the highly paid primary source for the spurious Steele dossier cooked up by the Hillary Clinton
campaign to smear Donald Trump. The upshot: Absent this convoluted episode —
using a suspected American enemy to tar a prospective President and then actual President as an American
enemy — there might never have been spying on the Trump campaign or a Russiagate at all.
Time
to abolish the FBI. That the FBI exists means you and I live in a post-constitutional
America. The FBI has to be done away with. To find our way back to the republic of
liberty the Founders gave us, we must dismantle the Leviathan headquartered in Washington, D.C.
The FBI has corrupted our political system and our system of justice. The Department of
Education has ruined American education — once a shining example to the
world — and done so in a remarkably brief time. The CDC imposed a brutal COVID
absolutism that violated our rights and destroyed countless small businesses. The list goes
on and on. Every Progressive innovation brings ruin. Their fatal flaw:
concentration of power by design.
'The
trajectory of the FBI, its mission seemed to have stayed the same on paper, but it changed
drastically'. We are in uncharted waters here, my fellow Americans. What the
FBI has become is beyond corrupt. It is treason. A coup against a duly elected
president, harassing and endangering whistleblowers, ferociously partisan prosecutions based solely
on political dissent, partnering with the far-Left smear merchants of the SPLC... and so much
more. The FBI may not be salvageable at this point. It may be necessary, should we ever
have an American president again, to close it down altogether.
Tom
Fitton Reveals Shocking Story of FBI Agents Targeting Him at His Home For Defending
Trump. Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton revealed FBI agents knocked on his door
and served him with a federal grand jury subpoena. Fitton said he was at home on his couch
recovering from "significant skin cancer surgery" when two FBI agents knocked on his door.
"Two FBI agents are at the door with a subpoena for me to testify to the grand jury presumably
about this Mar-a-Lago issue," Fitton told Fox News host Jesse Watters Thursday evening. Tom
Fitton said he was called in to the grand jury which he noted was "highly unusual."
Chris
Wray Did Not Admit FBI Had [a] Biden China Bribery Document — Until James Comer Notified
Him He Already Had Seen It. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer joined Maria
Bartiromo on Mornings with Maria on Thursday morning [6/1/2023]. Rep. Comer told Maria
Bartiromo that dirty FBI Director Chris Wray told Comer he did not have the [condemnatory] Joe Biden
bribery document until James Comer told him he had already seen it. [...] Wray is lying and playing
games. Congress needs to act. The FBI is a dangerous organization that is out of control.
The
FBI and CIA Should Be Abolished, Not Reformed. The FBI was a bad idea from its start
in the days of J. Edgar Hoover. The agency began in an atmosphere of blackmail. Now
resembling police forces in totalitarian countries, the FBI has become an instrument of oppression
of the people it was allegedly meant to protect and serve. Reports that the bureau has been
infiltrating almost all right-of-center organizations are myriad. In our elections, it hasn't
just put its finger on the scale; It has placed its full arm, elbow first. Just as it's said
that Xi Jinping's China is "Communism with Chinese characteristics," it can be said that the FBI is
the "STASI or KGB with American characteristics" (the pretense that the Bill of Rights is being
followed). Since centralized power tends to corrupt, in many ways, this was inevitable.
FBI
Director Appears To Be Ignoring Tuesday Deadline To Give Congress Secret Document on Biden 'Bribery
Scheme'. Tuesday is the deadline for the FBI director, Christopher Wray, to hand over
a document that's said to detail alleged corruption by President Biden while he was serving as vice
president, but for weeks Mr. Wray has shown little interest in complying with Republican
investigators probing the Biden family's years of murky financial dealings. The chairman of
the powerful House Oversight Committee, Congressman James Comer, asked for the letter in early May,
but Mr. Wray and the FBI have so far declined to turn it over. Shortly after
Mr. Comer threatened to hold Mr. Wray in contempt of Congress on May 25, the director
agreed to a phone conversation that will be held Wednesday, after the Tuesday deadline has
passed. It is unclear if this will just be a courtesy call, or if the director could be
substantively engaging with House Republicans on the issue of congressional oversight.
After
Contempt Threat, FBI Director Wray Admits Oversight Whistleblower Report on Shady Biden $5 million
Payment Does Exist. An interesting series of updates to the FBI whistleblower case of
Joe Biden taking a $5 million bribe payment which now looks to have originated in Ukraine.
The background claim is pretty basic. A whistleblower approached congress stating the FBI had
a report, an unclassified FD-1023, detailing a conversation with a 'confidential human source'
(CHS) that outlined Vice President Joe Biden taking a $5 million payment from a foreign national to
affect a U.S. policy decision. The FBI agent responsible for investigating the CHS claim was
FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten, a sketchy character from the Trump-Russia probe.
Retired
And Former FBI Agents Let Your Voices Be Heard. Do retired and former FBI agents
really have anything relevant to say about the current weaponization of our federal institutions?
[...] This may be breaking news to many, but the retired FBI agent community is a robust and
professional body of men and women who have served their country for at least twenty years.
For many, that time was spent on the street investigating cases, pursuing ancillary duties, or
later in leadership. They are intimately familiar not just with stated policy, contained in
documents like the DIOG (the seminal corpus of FBI policy and procedure), but more importantly, how
policy is actually implemented in real time, when lives are on the line, or when merely
administrative matters are implicated. It's become fashionable to denigrate retired, and to
some degree former, FBI agents as sellouts, or beholden to their pensions. The veritable
"golden handcuffs" as some have whined. I suspect that imprecation is really a thinly veiled
jealously, spoken by someone who bungled a career.
The
Biden family is under the protection of the nation's top lawmen. Here's a novel
concept: The FBI is not above the law. In theory, of course, it's true, as in no American is
above the law. But is it really true in the sense that its leaders can be brought to justice
if they break the law? That'll be the day. Ever hear of Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe and
Peter Strzok? They were J. Edgar Hoover without the charm, spied on a presidential campaign
without sufficient evidence, lied to the courts and never paid a price. In fact, each got a
lot richer thanks to the big shots who monetize the Hate Donald Trump fan clubs in cable TV and
publishing houses.
Rein
in the FBI: Put an End to the FBI's Gestapo Tactics. Power corrupts. We know
this. In fact, we know this from experience learned the hard way at the hands of our own
government. So why is anyone surprised to learn that the FBI, one of the most
power-hungry and corrupt agencies within the police state's vast complex of power-hungry and
corrupt agencies, misused a massive government surveillance database more than 300,000 times in
order to target American citizens? This is how the government operates, after all.
First, they seek out extraordinary powers acquired in the wake of some national crisis —
in this case, warrantless surveillance powers intended to help the government spy on foreign
targets suspected of engaging in terrorism — and then they use those powers against the
American people. According to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the FBI repeatedly
misused Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in order to spy on the
communications of two vastly disparate groups of Americans: those involved in the George Floyd
protests and those who may have taken part in the Jan. 6, 2021, protests at the Capitol.
This is par for the course for the FBI, whose modus operandi has historically been to
"expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize" perceived threats to the
government's power.
Dem
Lawmaker's House Raided by FBI in Connection to Tucker Carlson Leaks - Report. The
FBI search of a Florida Democratic elected official's home is connected to leaked materials from
Fox News involving Tucker Carlson, according to a report Friday. The federal agency conducted
a raid and search of a Tampa home this month, the Tampa Bay Times reported. The home is that
of Tampa City Council member Lynn Hurtak and her husband, media consultant Tim Burke. [Tweet]
Carlson has been targeted in a series of selective leaks following his firing from Fox News last
month — with leftist organization Media Matters publishing off-air content in which he
made off-color remarks. [Tweet]
Senior
FBI official: I haven't had time to read the Durham report. On Tuesday, the House
Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence held a
hearing where the FBI's Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence was called to
testify. The main topic of the hearing was Chinese Communist Party aggression, but given the
timing of the event and the senior position of the witness, the subject of the Durham report came
up. Jill Murphy "stunned" the Republicans on the panel when she claimed that she "hadn't had
time" to read the report and had never even been briefed on it. Given the bombshell nature of
the report and its [scathing] critique of the Bureau, that sounds unlikely in the extreme, but she
promised the members that she would "get to it."
The Editor says...
A couple of plausible explanations come to mind: [1] She knew she was going to testify before
Congress, so she kept herself in the dark to avoid answering questions, or [2] she was lying.
More
FBI coverups and corruption. After the Durham report was released the FBI had to
admit that they had failed to uphold the law and that the whole Crossfire Hurricane
investigation — the persecution of a sitting president and his aides — was a
bit of a mistake. They made "missteps," but assured us that they have corrected their
processes. [Tweet] Days laters it was revealed that they conducted almost 280,000 illegal
searches of Americans' private records, yet again they assured us that they have cleared up any
misunderstandings. Missteps were made, but don't worry, everything is fine now. [Tweets]
Yet again the FBI is committing a "misstep," refusing to release an unclassified document that purports
to show that the FBI has knowledge about a bribery scheme that President Biden engaged in. The
document, which should be available to Congress if not released to the public, has been subpoenaed.
FBI
says NO to subpoena from Chairman Comer. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has
failed to respond to a subpoena issued by the House Oversight Committee in the ongoing
investigation that has been spearheaded by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., several outlets have
reported. RSBN revealed on Monday [5/22/2023] that the FBI was poised to possibly brief
Rep. Comer as the Oversight Committee continues to investigate Joe Biden and the entire Biden
family's link to shady business dealings over the past several years. [Tweet]
Suspicion
Surrounds White House U-Haul Attack. On Monday night, a U-Haul truck crashed near the
White House, hitting the security barriers on the north side of Lafayette Square. According
to a report from the Washington Post, the driver, whose identity the police did not
initially disclose, faces charges of making threats to kill, kidnap, or harm the president, vice
president, or a family member. Additionally, he is charged with assault using a dangerous
weapon and trespassing. [...] After a thorough examination by bomb technicians, no explosive
devices were discovered inside the truck. However, video footage reveals law enforcement
officers handling various items of evidence, such as a Nazi flag, a black backpack, and duct
tape. Interestingly, the flag was subsequently placed on the ground — a curious
detail that has sparked a lot of questions on social media, including accusations that the incident
was staged. [Tweet] "I can't help but notice how meticulously the first responders laid out
that strangely crisp, new Nazi flag for the press cameras," Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire
observed. The incident comes in the wake of backlash against Joe Biden for falsely claiming
during his Howard University commencement address that "white supremacy" is "the most dangerous
terrorist threat to our homeland."
Why We
Can't Trust the FBI. White supremacy, domestic terrorism, and violent extremism are
all on the rise, according to the FBI, the news media, and top government officials. They
point to the January 6 Capitol riot, the Patriot Front white supremacists who recently marched
in Washington D.C., and yesterday's crash into a security barrier near the White House of a U-Haul
truck carrying a Nazi flag. But there is no evidence that white supremacy, domestic
terrorism, and violent extremism are actually on the rise. By filing multiple January 6
cases rather than a single one, FBI inflated the statistics, as we documented yesterday.
Little is known about the almost entirely masked participants of the Patriot Front, which did not
respond to our request for an interview. And the crash of a 19-year-old man with a Nazi flag
into a security barrier is as likely to have resulted from mental illness as political
radicalization, as is often the case.
The Editor says...
The "Patriot Front" group appears to be thinly-disguised astroturf. The 19-year-old who gently
"crashed" an empty rental truck into a barrier at the White House appears to be a patsy, much
like these guys, and the January 6
riot was apparently an entrapment operation executed by several embedded fellows who look very
much like the "Patriot Front" guys, since they're all wearing face masks. I'm willing to
believe they are the very same men.
FBI
refuses to provide subpoenaed document on alleged Biden 'criminal scheme'. The
Federal Bureau of Investigation failed to turn over a document subpoenaed by House Republicans that
allegedly details a bribery scheme from then-Vice President Joe Biden. The agency refused to
provide the document Monday in a private meeting with the House Oversight and Accountability
Committee. The unclassified FD-1023 document details criminal allegations of a pay-to-play
scheme related to the Biden family's business dealings, according to a whistleblower at the agency
who spoke with Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., who chairs the
Oversight Committee, issued the subpoena to the FBI, which previously failed to provide the
document by a May 10 deadline. Comer said he wants to work with Senate Republicans to hold
the FBI's budget "hostage" until the agency gets new leadership or provides the document.
FBI
again refuses to comply with subpoena, declines to give House report on Biden bribery
allegation. The FBI again refused to comply Monday with House Oversight Committee
Chairman James Comer's subpoena for a document that allegedly details a pay-to-play scheme
involving then-Vice President Joe Biden. The bureau's latest refusal to turn over the
unclassified FD-1023 document detailing an informant's criminal allegations against Biden, 80, came
during a briefing between the Oversight Committee and FBI staff. Comer (R-Ky.) is expected to
reveal the panel's next steps in the quest for the document sometime this week. Congress has
the power to cut funding to federal agencies or use litigation to enforce subpoenas. The
Republican-led House of Representatives also could move to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in
contempt or begin impeachment proceedings in an effort to apply pressure.
Discredited
But Massively Wealthy SPLC Working with Corrupt FBI. The Southern Poverty Law Center
(SPLC) is one of the Left's premier, well-heeled, and most dishonest and ruthless attack
dogs. It relentlessly smears legitimate conservative individuals and groups by labeling them
as purveyors of "hate" and lumping them in with the likes of the KKK and neo-Nazis. Its
name-calling and defamation would be just more of the same rubbish that comes daily from the Left
were it not for the fact that the social media giants and numerous other major corporations still
take the massively discredited SPLC seriously and use its smear pieces as a guide to shun and
deplatform various dissenters from the Leftist agenda. So the SPLC sounds like the perfect
organization for the Biden regime to work with, right? Oh, absolutely. Now this
sinister and hateful group is partnering with the equally corrupt and politicized FBI.
Of
Course, the FBI Supports the Regime. But.... [Scroll down] Really, I
wouldn't want to be working at the FBI right now. On the one hand, the doddering regime is
always asking the FBI to bend the law to keep its trains running for one more day. On the
other hand, you FBI professionals are reduced to propping up a weak regime that is past its sell-by date.
When
a Whistleblower Ain't a Whistleblower. [Scroll down] The testimony of
these men solidifies what we already know: the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been
horrifically politicized and weaponized against its agents and the American people. Let the
facts speak for themselves. Parents who attended school board meetings over their concerns
about the indoctrination of their children were designated as domestic terrorists. I find
that rather interesting because I have yet to see a concerned parent riot, commit violent acts, and
burn down a school. Yet, we have an organization, Antifa, that is doing exactly that,
including committing acts of violence against law enforcement agencies. Not a doggone thing
is being done about it, and no investigation. However, if you were in Washington, DC, on
January 6th, you had FBI agents visiting your home. Indeed an act of weaponized
intimidation. The FBI has found itself showing up on the doorsteps of pro-life
activists. We know it has even had agents infiltrating the Catholic Church, all because of
supporting the first unalienable right, life, for the born and unborn. However, it seems that
the FBI cannot seem to infiltrate the organization Jane's Revenge which claimed responsibility for
firebombing pro-life advocacy centers and vandalizing churches. Instead of infiltrating the
Catholic Church, what about the Satanic Temple of America? They freely admit
abortion — really infanticide — is a part of their "rituals."
The
FBI or the Stasi? The FBI is not a law enforcement organization. It has become
the American Stasi. Does it do anything besides abuse its power? Presumably so. I
am still naive or optimistic enough to assume that most people who join the agency are patriotic
Americans who want to preserve our freedoms. [...] Long ago I gave up on the TV version of the
Bureau. The square-jawed noble fighters who slay evildoers daily are a PR gift by Hollywood
to the agency, but still, most FBI agents are probably decent people doing a tough job. But
their leaders? They are, it turns out, a bunch of corrupt hacks, and far too few agents are
willing to buck the system. Perhaps they are wise to do so, given what happens to anybody who
objects. You could become homeless. The FBI did this to an agent. Now the
Democrats are sliming them as traitors.
FBI
Collected License Plate Numbers of Parents Attending School Board Meetings. During
Thursday's hearing by the House Judiciary Select Committee on the weaponization of the federal
government, FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend testified that he was ordered to write down the
license plate numbers of parents who attended school board meetings. Friend — a
12-year veteran of the bureau — was suspended after he refused to take part in a
SWAT-style raid on a January 6 suspect who was facing misdemeanor charges last summer. "I have
an oath to uphold the Constitution," Mr. Friend, a 12-year veteran of the bureau, told his
supervisors when he declined to participate in the raid on August 24, 2022. "I have a moral
objection and want to be considered a conscientious objector." On Thursday, U.S. Rep. Matt
Gaetz (R-FL) questioned the FBI whistleblowers on the bureau's "terrorism symbol guide." The
agents told Gaetz that voicing support for the second amendment, the Betsy Ross flag and writing
"2A" were all among the FBI's designated domestic terrorism symbols. Gaetz then turned his
attention to Friend and asked about school board meetings.
Five
Revelations in Five Days Expose Chris Wray's FBI as Criminal Enterprise. There was a
time in the not-so-distant past when a vast majority of Americans trusted the FBI, valued its work,
and believed in its mission and purpose. A majority of Americans were proud of the FBI.
Then Trump came into office and the FBI was exposed by independent journalists as a crooked, immoral
organization. Whatever credibility the FBI had left was tossed out the window this week.
FBI
whistleblowers describe retaliation by bureau brass against rank and file who speak
out. Three FBI whistleblowers testified before a House Judiciary subcommittee
Thursday and described abuses they witnessed at the bureau and how the FBI retaliates against its
employees who speak out against the agency. Two current and former agents testified before
the House Judiciary Committee's Weaponization of the Federal Government subcommittee and made
several remarkable claims. FBI Special Agent Garret O'Boyle, FBI Staff Operations Specialist
Marcus Allen and former FBI Special Agent Stephen Friend testified that the bureau suspended or
revoked their security clearances. Additionally, they testified the bureau restricted them
from seeking outside employment to support themselves and their families during their unpaid
suspensions after they filed whistleblower disclosures to Congress about the agency.
FISA
Court Report: FBI Continued to Abuse Surveillance Tool After Trump-Era Abuses. The FBI
continued to abuse a powerful digital surveillance tool even after the Bureau promised reforms
following its Trump-era abuses, according to a newly-unsealed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court document. The FBI misused Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
(FISA) more than 278,000 times, the Washington Post reported, "including against crime victims,
January 6 riot suspects, and people arrested at protests in the wake of the police killing of
George Floyd in 2020." In one particularly egregious case, they reportedly relied on Section 702 to
spy on 19,000 donors to a congressional candidate. Section 702 is a provision of the FISA
Amendments Act of 2008 that "permits the government to conduct targeted surveillance of foreign
persons located outside the United States, with the compelled assistance of electronic
communication service providers, to acquire foreign intelligence information." The law,
created in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, allows National Security Agency and
FBI employees a to search a vast database of electronic communications and other information.
FBI
misused controversial surveillance tool to investigate Jan. 6 protesters. The FBI
improperly searched the personal communications of Americans who participated in the Jan. 6 attack
on the Capitol and the 2020 protests over police violence, newly declassified documents show.
The inappropriate searches of data intercepted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
(FISA) were originally detailed in a classified April 2021 certification issued by the court that
oversees the statute and found roughly 300,000 abuses logged between 2020 and early 2021. The
Biden administration on Friday also shared a second, significantly redacted document that detailed
a technique for the FBI to conduct physical searches for the first time under FISA.
FBI
refuses to hand over document Republicans claim ties Biden to 'criminal' access scheme with foreign
national. Top Republicans remind FBI Director Chris Wray he must comply with a
subpoena for a document allegedly linking Joe Biden to a cash-for-access 'criminal scheme' or else
face 'consequences.' 'The FBI's delay in producing a single, unclassified record is
unacceptable,' said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to Wray in a Friday evening
letter marking nine days since the deadline passed. 'The FBI's credibility is on the line,
and their continued failure to cooperate will have long lasting consequences,' added
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
They
Admit the FBI Had No Russian Collusion Evidence, But Defend the Agency Because They Hate
Trump. The Durham report explicitly said there was no evidence of Russian collusion,
though the FBI went ahead on a bogus investigation regardless. Disgraced FBI Agent Peter
Strzok is central in signing off on this clown show. The kernels behind this hoax predate the
release of the findings by Special Counsel John Durham. The Horowitz report released five
years, which the liberal media erroneously said exonerated the FBI of political bias during the
2016 election, provided a preview of the antics within the J. Edgar Hoover Building. As Wall
Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel aptly noted, Horowitz was careful with the language
regarding bias. That's not the same thing as declaring there was none.
FBI
Misused Surveillance Tool More Than 278,000 Times Including Against Jan. 6 People, BLM,
Political Donors. The FBI has a surveillance tool that it can use to deal with
foreign intelligence questions. The tool is supposed to be used to target foreign actors, not
Americans, and you are supposed to have an evidentiary basis for using it. According to a
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court order that came down in April 2022, but was released with
redactions on Friday, the FBI misused that database more than 278,000 times. The order was
released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. [...] The report explained that 13
people connected to Jan. 6 were "inappropriately queried" to see if they had foreign
ties. In the case of BLM people, the FBI searched for 130 of them in the database during the
2020 riots. Over 19,000 donors to a congressional campaign were also looked into, as well as
victims of crimes, including "individuals listed in police homicide reports." The latter
included "victims, next-of-kin, witnesses, and suspects." They didn't reveal who the
congressional campaign involved.
FBI
Whistleblowers Share Grievous Governmental Misconduct. Three brave FBI whistleblowers,
former Special Agents Garret O'Boyle and Steve Friend and Staff Operations Specialist Marcus Allen,
all chose to speak in Thursday's hearing led by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the
Federal Government, knowing they might suffer additional retaliatory action from the government.
The three men were suspended from the FBI and have been subjected to grievous retaliatory measures
because they dared to tell the truth. According to the Committee's Executive Summary, one other
whistleblower, Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill, has testified behind closed doors.
Attorney Tristan Leavitt, President of Empower Oversight, also testified in the hearing.

Dirty
FBI Revokes Security Clearances of Whistleblowers Before Congressional Testimony. The
House Weaponization Committee held a hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill. Three government
whistleblowers from the FBI testified before Congress on Thursday morning. On Wednesday Chris
Wray's FBI revoked the security clearances of three agents who espoused questioned the aggressive
tactics by the FBI in targeting Trump supporters, conservatives, and pro-Life Americans, according
to a letter the FBI sent the subcommittee on Wednesday. FBI agents Marcus Allen, Garrett
O'Boyle, and Steve Friend had already been suspended for questioning the agency's handling of the
January 6 case and stating their beliefs that the FBI has been weaponized against conservatives.
Democrats on the Committee ran interference for the FBI. The Democrat members were openly
hostile to the witnesses and [attacked] them continuously.
Why
the FBI has so few whistleblowers. [Scroll down] The three FBI special agents
who did blow the whistle were treated to an astonishingly vindictive retaliation — starting
with pullings of their security clearances, which left them unable to work — and a whole host
of other petty, mean-spirited actions that would put the KGB to shame. Whistleblower Marcus Allen,
using internal channels, not the press, questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray's congressional testimony
claiming there were no FBI informants among the Trumpsters on January 6, politely suggesting that
perhaps the Director was being misled by his own men who were involved with such activity. What
did he get for that? ["]Allen, on Thursday, will tell Congress that the bureau subsequently
suspended his security clearance, questioned his loyalty to the United States, and accused him of holding
"conspiratorial views."["] More specifically, he got his clearance pulled while they
"investigated" and while he was waiting for this big investigation of some kind, got his paycheck
withheld, too.

Garret O'Boyle: FBI Has Created "Orwellian Atmosphere That Silences Opposition and Discussion".
FBI Whistleblower Garret O'Boyle's opening statement from Thursday's House "Weaponization of Government"
committee hearing discusses his experience at the FBI including a "smear campaign" against him. "Too
many in the FBI aren't willing to sacrifice for the hard right over the easy wrong. They see what
becomes of whistleblowers. How the FBI destroys their careers, suspends them under false pretenses,
takes their security clearance and pay with no true options for real recourse or remedy," he said.
"This is by design. It creates an Orwellian atmosphere that silences opposition and discussion."
"I couldn't knowingly and silently continue on this path without speaking out against the weaponization I
witnessed," he said. "All I wanted to do was serve my country by stopping bad guys and protecting
the innocent. To my chagrin, bad guys have begun running parts of the government, making it
difficult to continue to serve this nation."
FBI
Concerned Jan. 6 Footage Would Expose Undercover Agents, Informants: Whistleblower.
FBI officials were concerned that footage from inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, would show
undercover agents and confidential informants, a whistleblower said in testimony revealed on May 18.
George Hill, a retired supervisory intelligence analyst who worked out of the FBI's Boston field office,
recounted that the bureau's Washington field office (WFO) pressured officials in Boston to open
investigations on 138 people who attended a rally on Jan. 6, 2021, even though there were
no indications the people violated the law. Boston officials pushed back, saying they would need
evidence, such as footage of individuals inside the Capitol, to open investigations of the individuals.
"Happy to do it. Show us where they were inside the Capitol, and we'll look into it," one official was
quoted as saying. "We can't show you those videos unless you can tell us the exact time and place
those individuals were inside the Capitol," WFO officials responded, according to Hill. Hill said
Boston officials questioned why they couldn't get access to the tranche of some 11,000 hours of footage
from inside the Capitol. "Because there may be — may be — UCs, undercover
officers, or ... confidential human sources, on those videos whose identity we need to protect,"
Washington-based officials responded.
Former
FBI Official Tells House Republicans Bureau Denied Agents J6 Riot Footage To Protect Assets,
Informants Present At U.S. Capitol. A former FBI official claimed the bureau denied
Boston Field Office agents access to 11,000 hours of U.S. Capitol video footage on January 6
out of fear it would reveal the identities of possible undercover officers and confidential
informants present at the riot. Members of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization
of the Federal Government shared video testimony during a hearing Thursday of George Hill, who
worked as a supervisory intelligence analyst for the Boston Field Office. Hill alleged the
bureau's Washington Field Office (WFO) pressured Boston agents to open investigations on 140
individuals who traveled to Washington, D.C., from Massachusetts to attend a political rally
supporting former President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021.

employees had security clearances revoked after speaking out against 'politicized rot': House
report. FBI employees who spoke out against the "politicized rot" within the bureau
were suspended or had their security clearances revoked, the House Judiciary Committee and
Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government said. The committees released an
interim staff report Thursday morning revealing new whistleblower testimony from several current
and former FBI employees that exposes "abuses and misconduct in the FBI." "The disclosures
from these FBI employees highlight egregious abuse, misallocation of law enforcement resources and
misconduct with the leadership ranks of the FBI," the report obtained by Fox News states.

FBI
Agents Break Rank, Slam Agency For Efforts To Shield Biden: 'Entrenched With Partisan
Politics'. A coalition of former senior FBI agents have spoken out about what they
claim is a "politicization" of the country's top domestic security agency based on recent
statements and positions that favor incumbent President Joe Biden. Speaking with the Daily
Caller, the agents — each of whom served for more than 20 years — cited
several instances of favoritism for Biden: "We agree privately and uniformly that [the]
FBI is heading in the wrong direction and has been too entrenched with partisan politics, starting
from Director Comey and intensified under Director Christopher Wray. We identified with
Nicole Parker's claim that 'The FBI became politically weaponized, starting from the top in
Washington trickling down to the field offices,' illustrated by inflating domestic violent
extremism statistics, directing big tech companies to censor Americans, conducting an unprecedented
raid on President Trump's home while suppressing key details related to the Hunter Biden probe as
'disinformation' and so on. We have observed firsthand that too many FBI current agents are
suffering low morale and too many Americans have lost trust in FBI," wrote the agents.
Occam's
Razor — Fed Entrapment. Occam's Razor: When faced with competing
explanations for the same phenomenon, the simplest is likely the correct one. (1) An
investigative silo within the federal apparatus falsely identified me as "1% Watchdog."
(2) When confronted with the truth of the matter, and after their own independent investigation,
federal investigators acknowledged that some other entity fabricated their bona fides using my
identity. (3) Admitted (by them) the most likely motive was to influence trust amid
the communication group of "1% Watchdog." [...] In my humble opinion, and applying
Occam's Razor, "1% Watchdog" was/is a federal agent. What other motive would a person
carry to fabricate their identity, create false bona fides, if not to influence a sense of trust
in their target audience?
Confirmed:
Jeffrey Epstein's History as an FBI Source. Back in 2007, the Department of Justice
gave Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart deal that deferred prosecuting Epstein for federal
offenses — including the interstate sex trafficking of minors and recruiting minors to
engage in commercial sex acts — in exchange for Epstein pleading guilty to Florida
state-level solicitation of prostitution and procurement charges. The deal was shocking in
both its timing and scope. It was made before the FBI had interviewed all of Epstein's
victims and before the FBI had seized Epstein's computers. It immunized Epstein's known and
unknown co-conspirators who were credibly accused of trafficking and abusing minors, a rare and
troubling agreement you will not find in any other federal non-prosecution agreement: "if
Epstein successfully fulfills all of the terms and conditions of this agreement, the United States
also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators
of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, or Nadia
Marcinkova." And it implicated both the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida
(Alex Acosta) and Main Justice in Washington, D.C., which approved of the plea deal, delayed the
grand jury, and stopped victims from being notified of the agreement in violation of federal law.
The
FBI's Snipe Hunts. When I was in the Boy Scouts, we used to send new scouts on a
snipe hunt during their first campout. [...] Snipe hunting is also a gag the FBI plays on
itself. Only the FBI calls the snipes "white supremacist domestic terrorists" —
which are apparently harder to find than Boy Scout snipes. The feds use the "white
supremacist" qualifier to avoid catching any BLM, Antifa, pro-abortion, or LGBTQ terrorists in
their dragnet. But parents, and others of a semi-fascist (i.e., MAGA) political persuasion
are fair game. At the request of the National School Boards Association (NSBA), the FBI
investigated parents who protested at school board meetings. Surely there's a criminal
statute against that. Congress just received the FBI's report on this initiative and it is
not confidence inspiring.
Former
FBI Agent Who Refused to Raid Jan. 6 Suspect Warns of Agency's Weaponization.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, Stephen Friend was told. Why would
he — an FBI special agent — not want to hunt down and jail rioters who killed
police officers at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021? The question, its justification, and
its accuracy were equally troubling when they were presented to Friend by an FBI superior on Aug. 23,
2022. "I responded back that no police officers were killed by any of the individuals who
were charged with the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6," Friend recalled.
Did
a 21-year-old air guardsman expose Biden's violation of the War Powers Act? Last
week, the mainstream media gleefully reported the arrest of a low-ranking, 21-year-old Air National
Guardsman from Massachusetts named Jack Teixeira, who apparently, on an internet chat site,
divulged state secrets in violation of the Espionage Act and embarrassed the Biden
administration. A small army of combat-fatigued FBI agents, wearing combat helmets and camos,
armed with AR-15s and looking like 82nd Airborne Division wannabes parachuting beyond the lines at
Normandy on D-Day, arrested the unarmed 21-year-old Teixeira, at home, alone. Teixeira has no
known record of violence, isn't a bombmaker or a nightclub shooter, and wasn't indicted on a
violent crime. But they came with enough firepower to storm the beachhead at Iwo Jima,
displaying a "look-at-me" swagger, like when they arrested poor old Roger Stone.
2
FBI Agents Who Knelt at BLM Rally Gained Promotions. Kneeling could be an avenue to
rise through the ranks at the FBI, judging by promotions for two agents who did so in solidarity
with Black Lives Matter protesters. One of the two agents appears in a video for her alma
mater saying that the FBI seeks a "diverse workforce" to ensure that the bureau is "looking like
the communities that we represent." Protests and riots linked to the Black Lives Matter
movement swept the nation in the weeks and months after the May 25, 2020, killing of George Floyd,
who was black, by a Minneapolis police officer who is white. In some cases, law enforcement
joined the protests. At least six FBI agents from the bureau's Washington, D.C., field office
were photographed kneeling during a BLM march on June 4, 2020, and were referred to derisively on
social media as "Kneel Team Six." The Daily Signal identified two of the kneeling agents
through direct and indirect communications with former and current FBI officials.
"The
Fall of the FBI" takes James Comey to task. I have only one criticism of the
just-released book by long-time superstar FBI agent Thomas Baker entitled "The Fall of the
FBI." It really should be entitled "The Winter of the FBI." That's how bad
things have gotten in the upper echelons of the Bureau. It wasn't always that way. More
than half the book is a collection of true crime stories that illustrate the competence and
professionalism of the Bureau in the old days. Most end with the bad guys in jail.
Baker had a first-hand view of these cases because he was involved in many of them.
Ex-White
House stenographer says FBI ignored Biden's role in son Hunter's business dealings.
Then-Vice President Joe Biden visited Ukraine on a mission to bolster the country's energy industry
days after his son Hunter joined the board of natural gas company Burisma in 2014 —
which a former White House stenographer claims implicates the now-80-year-old in a foreign
influence-peddling "kickback scheme." Mike McCormick says he was with current national
security adviser Jake Sullivan — then a Biden aide — in the press cabin of
Air Force Two en route to Kyiv on April 21, 2014, as he outlined how the world's wealthiest country
would help the deeply corrupt post-Soviet state build its gas industry. Giving a rundown of
Biden's priorities for the trip, Sullivan — described as a "senior administration
official" — said the then-vice president would "discuss with [Ukrainian officials]
medium- and long-term strategies to boost conventional gas production, and also to begin to take
advantage of the unconventional gas reserves that are in Ukraine."
House
Judiciary Committee Subpoenas Wray After Learning FBI Planned to 'Develop Sources' At Catholic
Churches to Rat on Fellow Parishioners. The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee
issued a subpoena to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday, after learning that the Bureau
planned to enlist sources at so-called "mainline" (Novus Ordo) Catholic parishes to inform on
purportedly radicalized fellow parishioners. In his letter to Wray, the committee's chairman,
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), revealed for the first time that the FBI "relied on information
derived from at least one undercover agent to produce its analysis and that the FBI proposed that
its agents engage in outreach to Catholic parishes to develop sources among the clergy and church
leadership to inform on Americans practicing their faith," Jordan wrote. "This shocking information
reinforces our need for all responsive documents," he added. [Tweet]
FBI
sought to develop sources in Catholic churches to combat domestic terrorism, docs show. The
FBI recently sought to develop sources inside Christian churches and Catholic dioceses as part of an effort
to combat domestic terrorism, according to internal documents released by House Judiciary Committee on Monday
[4/10/2023]. The internal documents — obtained last month by House Judiciary Committee Chairman
Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., who are also members of the so-called Weaponization
Subcommittee — showed the FBI planned to use churches as "new avenues for tripwire and source
development." The federal law enforcement agency also aimed to specifically target "mainline Catholic
parishes" as part of its efforts. In addition, according to Jordan, the FBI expressed interest in
"leverag[ing] existing sources and/or initiat[ing] Type 5 Assessments to develop new sources with the
placement and access." And, in another example, the agency cited a desire to to sensitize religious
congregations "to the warning signs of radicalization and enlist their assistance to serve as suspicious
activity tripwires."
FBI
Associates Slang Like 'Based' With 'Extremism,' Docs Show. An investigation launched
by The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project found in early April that the FBI associated common
social media language with "violent extremism." Using a Freedom of Information Act request,
The Heritage Foundation accessed a glossary of terms used by the FBI to flag indications of
"involuntary celibate violent extremism" or "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism,"
according to documents posted on Twitter. Phrases such as "LARPing," "red pill," and "based"
were all considered part of racial and ethical-extremist language, according to the documents.
The FBI also listed terms like "red pill; black pill," "rope," and "chad," as part of
linguistics used by involuntary celibate violent extremism, or "incels." The document further
argues that incels are those possibly wanting to "commit violence in support of their beliefs that
society unjustly denies them sexual or romantic attention, to which they believe they are entitled."

FBI
Had 'At Least 40' Undercover Informants Instigating Trouble on January 6th. Law
enforcement agencies had at least 40 undercover FBI informants participating in surveillance work
among defendants during the January 6 Capitol Hill protests. Roger Roots, the lawyer for
defendant American Proud Boys member Dominic Pezzola, filed a motion to reveal all undercover
informants related to the January 6 case. According to the filed document, several
undercover law enforcement officers were at the Capitol that day, with at least 40 undercover
informants or agents walking among them, which Roots claims were instigating trouble. "Some of
these undercover Metro officers marched with the Proud Boy march, and some appear to have played
roles of instigators, in that they are seen on body-worn videos chanting 'Go! Go!,' 'Stop the
Steal!,' and 'Whose house? Our house!' on January 6. Others generally followed
demonstrators toward the Capitol," Roots said.
DOJ
'inadvertently' hid evidence in case of FBI agent accused of colluding with Russia.
The Justice Department acknowledged Thursday that it "inadvertently" withheld evidence from defense
attorneys representing a former top FBI official who was involved in the Trump-Russia collusion
investigation and is now charged with conspiring with Russia to violate U.S. sanctions. In a
letter to Manhattan U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rearden, Justice Department prosecutor Damian
Williams said his team mistakenly forgot to turn over four categories of evidence to ex-FBI
official Charles McGonigal's defense team during the discovery process. "In reviewing our files,
the government identified certain items that were inadvertently omitted from the government's prior
productions," Mr. Williams wrote. "The government expects to make a supplemental discovery
production containing these materials by the end of the week."
What Would a
Real Manchurian Candidate Do Differently than Joe Biden? The Biden regime's emphasis
on identity politics (particularly as relates to pushing the LGBTQI agenda), critical race theory,
diversity-equity-inclusion, and other Marxist policies have replaced meritocracy, experience, and
competency in hiring and promotion decision-making. The weaponizing of federal agencies
against Democrat political enemies has been put on steroids over the past two years, with the FBI's
continuing pursuit of J6 protestors moving into its third year. The FBI's raid on former
President Trump's private residence and opening of yet another special counsel investigation has
exacerbated the mistrust of the federal government among many Americans. The lack of the
FBI's focused pursuit of violent antifa and BLM protestors stands in contrast to early morning
raids of the homes of peaceful pro-life protestors. The rule of law and equal justice under
the law have been diminished by the highly politicized Biden Dept of Justice.
FBI
handcuffs, interrogates innocent Delta Air Lines pilot in botched Boston training exercise.
The FBI and other federal agents burst into the wrong Boston hotel room Tuesday night during a training
exercise, startling the guest inside who had no idea what was going on as he was handcuffed.
The incident occurred on the 15th floor of the Revere Hotel as agents were conducting a mock
investigation. FBI agents were assisting the U.S. Department of Defense in a training exercise
inside the hotel to simulate a situation that DOD personnel might encounter in a deployed environment.
"Based on inaccurate information, they were mistakenly sent to the wrong room and detained an individual,
not the intended role player," the FBI said in a statement. The agents targeted room 1505,
where a Delta Air Lines pilot was sleeping inside and opened the door, WBZ-TV reported.
America's
Real Domestic Terrorists Are Hiding Behind Pride Flags. America's current dystopian
turn has been long in the making but manifesting more rapidly since about, oh, Jan. 20, 2021.
Ever since the reins of the United States government were handed over to a mumbling moron who is being
controlled by people who are almost as slow as he is, the official narrative about good guys and
bad guys has been turned upon its head. Just last week, we were again discussing the
dangerously messed up priorities of federal law enforcement. Merrick Garland's unhinged rogue
Justice Dept. has been eyeing concerned parents and traditional Catholics. Neither group has
produced any murderers yet. In fact, they have yet to even produce any vaguely terrorist-type
plans, despite being voted "Most Likely to Kill Other Americans" by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. That discussion was last Wednesday, just two days after the horror in
Nashville. Since then, the narrative has been that the killer was really a victim and the
victims were responsible for it all.
Is
the FBI Planning to Intimidate Hunter Biden Whistleblowers? I found disgraced FBI
agent Timothy Thibault's girlfriend's Twitter account. She has tweeted prolifically in
defense of the former special agent. While most are innocuous, a few of her posts raise some
serious red flags. Her tweets contain specific and non-public information where she suggests
that the FBI is planning to respond to the whistleblowers that have come forward to congressional
Republicans to expose the anti-Trump bias at the bureau and the censorship of the Hunter Biden
laptop during the 2020 election. Her Twitter gives reason to believe that the FBI may be
conspiring with Thibault to attempt to discredit and intimidate the whistleblowers, including by
revealing their identities[.] As you may recall, Timothy Thibault was one of the FBI agents who
was in charge of the investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop, which the bureau originally obtained
in 2019. Last July, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley announced that FBI whistleblowers had come forward
to his office alleging that Thibault deliberately suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop investigation
before the 2020 election. The whistleblowers also alleged a widespread effort within the FBI
led by Thibault to downplay or discredit negative information about Hunter Biden.
Even
If You Hate Trump, You Should Be Standing With Him Now. The FBI used to be the very
definition of an unimpeachable, incorruptible group of public servants who pursued justice without
fear or favor. Today, the Biden-era FBI is the sinister muscle of a corrupt regime that has
not hesitated to unleash it against anyone, no matter how small, who dares to dissent from the
Left's agenda, up to and including parents who protest at school board meetings against their
children being indoctrinated with race hatred and sexualized by drag queens. The Justice
Department in general is an appallingly corrupt entity that has established a two-tier justice
system, ruthlessly trying to frame Trump repeatedly while steadfastly ignoring ever-mounting
evidence of the crimes of Hunter and Joe Biden, Nancy "Insider Trading" Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and
others. That two-tier justice system applies to every American citizen, not just the big names.
FBI
Isn't Treating Nashville Shooting As Domestic Terrorism. The FBI is not treating the
Monday shooting in Nashville that killed six, including three small children, as an act of domestic
terrorism, The Daily Wire has learned. The FBI's definition of domestic terrorism is
"Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals
stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or
environmental nature." The shooter was a 28-year-old woman who identified as a man and was a
former student at the Christian elementary school. Although transgender activists have
complained of recent actions by the Tennessee legislature relating to transgender youth, police
have not divulged a motive in the attack. The shooter had a "manifesto," police said, though
its contents have not been released. "If it was terrorism, we would have federal
jurisdiction. Given that Nashville metro is leading the investigation, I think you can take a
lot from that," Elizabeth Clement-Webb, a spokesperson for the Memphis Field Office of the
FBI — which includes Nashville — told The Daily Wire.
The
FBI's Work in Mass Shootings Is Not Pretty. Former FBI director James Comey was in
charge of finding what — and who — led up to some renowned, rather horrific
mass shootings, which included Sandy Hook (2012), San Bernardino (2015), and Las Vegas (2017).
[...] The FBI's continued failure to decipher key signals in mass shootings seems to point to a
deliberate effort to cover for the billion-dollar behavioral health industry, which manages to
obtain millions of dollars in state and federal funding after every single one of these mass
murders. Critical evidence that most shooters have been found to be on a cocktail of
psychiatric drugs magically disappears from the FBI investigations and findings. [...] The bottom
line is that the FBI enjoys a level of secrecy on so many levels. With this level of power,
the Bureau has the ability to conceal toxicology reports and mental health treatment records that
are pertinent to finding the actual common denominator that drive these "mission-oriented
killings." Why does the FBI not disclose each shooter's history of long-term mental health
treatment? Is it because the public would question these treatments and possibly choose alternatives?
Matt
Gaetz Announces Resolution Dedicated To Stopping FBI HQ Funds. Rep. Matt Gaetz
(R-FL) announced on Tuesday that he is introducing a resolution that calls for halting funds
dedicated to the FBI's next headquarters over concerns about politicization at the bureau.
The congressman specifically decries the FBI's Washington Field Office, which Gaetz said is
"weaponized" and "rotten to the core." Still, Gaetz acknowledged there "are still good men and
women in the FBI whose task and purpose are to defend" the United States. Titled the "FBI
Washington Field Office House Arrest Act," Gaetz's resolution outlines a number of alleged misdeeds
by the satellite office, including targeting parents critical of school board decisions and
colluding with private sector companies during elections to censor information.
The
FBI Showed Up on the Behest of Pfizer to Question a NY Woman About Her Anti-Vax Comments on Social
Media. Three days ago, the FBI paid a visit to a woman in New York following a
complaint from Pfizer about her anti-vax comments on social media. During the interrogation,
the FBI repeatedly asked the woman the same questions, seemingly in an attempt to irritate
her. The agents' demeanor was described as stand-offish, adding to the woman's frustration.
Unfortunately, we do not have any further details at this time, and it's unclear why the FBI was
involved in this matter. [Video clip]
The
FBI took her life savings. Now she's fighting to help others get theirs back.
Linda Martin thought she was being responsible by putting her nest egg in a safe deposit box where
she wouldn't be tempted to touch it. She never imagined the FBI would seize her life savings.
"They didn't tell us why they took our money. They haven't told us anything as far as what we did
wrong," Martin, 58, told Fox News. "We haven't done anything wrong. We work and we saved our money
because we were trying to save and buy a house." Two years later, Martin still doesn't know why her
money was taken or if she'll ever get it back.
Convenient
Fire in the Guo Penthouse While the FBI Was There. Guo Wengui, also known as Ho Wan
Kwok, an exiled Chinese billionaire with business ties to Steve Bannon, has been arrested on
federal fraud charges out of New York. His penthouse suite went on fire within hours of the
arrest. Initially, the media was vague, with some suggesting it raises suspicions about
Guo. Conveniently and surprisingly, the fire broke out while the FBI was there!
A 'Spill' of
FBI Secrets. The FBI agent squirmed on the hot seat. Confronted with messages the Justice
Department attempted to conceal, Nicole Miller, one of the lead FBI investigators assigned to the Proud Boys
case, was on the verge of admitting that the FBI monitored privileged communications between one defendant
and his attorney in 2021. "It appears so," Miller responded when asked by defense attorney Nicholas
Smith on March 8 to confirm she and another agent discussed the content of emails exchanged between
Zachary Rehl, one of five Proud Boys currently on trial for seditious conspiracy, and his former lawyer.
Smith read aloud one of Miller's texts: "I need to find other emails, but this one email definitely indicates
that they want to go to trial, But don't freak out, Jason and Luke." Smith turned to Miller. "Now,
'Jason,' you understand to be referring to the prosecutor in this case, Jason McCullough. Correct?"
But jurors never heard an answer. After prosecutors loudly objected, Judge Timothy Kelly abruptly
dismissed the jury.
Leaked
chat proves FBI helped orchestrate J6. Special Agent Nicole Miller accidentally
revealed that her boss ordered her to destroy 338 items of evidence via chat logs that were
leaked. That's bad news for the prosecution. And now it's official. We are living
under the very government our founding fathers warned us against. Apparently, Miller not only
lied to the defense, but also may have spied on attorney-client communications (last I checked,
these fall under the 'privileged' category) after also being asked to "edit out that I was present"
during a meeting with a confidential informant. I guess this is the kind of 'higher loyalty'
James Comey wrote about.
The FBI
Just Admitted It Bought US Location Data. The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation has
acknowledged for the first time that it purchased US location data rather than obtaining a
warrant. While the practice of buying people's location data has grown increasingly common
since the US Supreme Court reined in the government's ability to warrantlessly track Americans'
phones nearly five years ago, the FBI had not previously revealed ever making such purchases.
The disclosure came today during a US Senate hearing on global threats attended by five of the
nation's intelligence chiefs. Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, put the question of the
bureau's use of commercial data to its director, Christopher Wray: "Does the FBI purchase US
phone-geolocation information?" Wray said his agency was not currently doing so, but he
acknowledged that it had in the past. He also limited his response to data companies gathered
specifically for advertising purposes.
FBI
Whistleblowers: Threat Tags Were Used to Target Conservatives. In the latest stunning
testimony from whistleblowers at the FBI, it has been alleged that the bureau actively used
intelligence threat tags to label multiple groups of conservative activists as potential domestic
terror threats. According to Just The News, one such whistleblower told the House
Judiciary Committee over the weekend that a terrorist threat tag originally created to target
far-left activists who threatened conservative Supreme Court justices after the overturning of Roe
v. Wade was ultimately flipped to the opposite purpose, and instead became a marker for
pro-life activists that the FBI considered dangerous for simply protesting at abortion clinics.
Punish
the FBI By Making Them Stay in Their Current Dump. The Republicans now control the
House, and they have a golden opportunity to do something about the weaponization of the FBI by
making a petty, mean, and absolutely essential gesture — they can defund the
billion-dollar new FBI building that would replace the decaying brutalist monstrosity of a building
they currently infest. No new palace for you, bums. This needs to be a line in the sand
for our guys in Washington, a pass/fail test to tell us who thinks it is still the era of Efrem
Zimbalist, Jr., and who knows what time it is. It is time to act to rein in this active
threat to Our Democracy masquerading as an LEO. Republicans cannot keep up their unquestioning support
of a federal agency that persecutes us in between its bouts of routine incompetence and corruption.
Garland
and Wray Politicized the DOJ and FBI, While Betraying America's Trust. Honesty,
virtue, and fidelity to the law are alien concepts to Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray.
It is not that the attorney general and the FBI director are incompetent like their boss, Joe
Biden. Far from it. They are crafty and cunning operators. Armed with immense
power and unlimited resources, they have become a law unto themselves. Their desired
end — often political — justifies any corrupt or wrongful means.
Operating under color of authority, they exploit it for partisan reasons. They launch
investigations that are unwarranted, while refusing to pursue those that are warranted. They
conduct raids based on ideology not law, persecuting people with whom they disagree. Parents
who complain at school board meetings are deemed terrorist threats. So, too, are
Catholics. Pro-life activists are treated as criminals, while violent abortion activists and
ANTIFA are allowed to commit crimes with impunity.
Life Among the Ruins.
Need we say anything about the lack of efficacy or morality of the Department of Justice, FBI, or
CIA? Or rather is there anything the FBI will not do? Doctor court
evidence? Hire Twitter to suppress the news? Monitor parents at school board
meetings? Allow directors to lie under oath or "misremember" before Congress? Swiping
clean subpoenaed phones? Hiring fakers to compile dirt on a presidential
candidate — and then using that known smear to hoodwink a judge to allow spying on
Americans? Suppressing evidence on a laptop to warp an election? Raiding an
ex-president's home with a SWAT-like team? Spying on Catholics in mass? Storming a home
full of children of a man accused of a politically incorrect misdemeanor?
FBI Agents in Catholic
Churches. Until the Trump years, the law-abiding universally loved the FBI. They
protected our country and us, we thought. They investigated domestic threats to America, we
thought. They were politically nonpartisan, like the military, we thought. Respect for
them was so universal that ABC had a show titled The F.B.I., starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr.,
which depicted FBI heroism week after week. And then we inadvertently uncovered worse than
our worst fears as a new president came to Washington, D.C., from outside the Beltway culture and
started "draining the swamp." Maybe it was too late, and maybe it now is too late. [...] It
turned out that the FBI, like the mainstream media, is yet another wing of the Democrat
Party. They no longer are nonpartisan. They send SWAT teams to arrest septuagenarian
Roger Stone in the middle of the night and "perp walk" the distinguished likes of Peter Navarro
while turning a blind eye to crimes by progressives and their favored minions. They destroyed
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. By contrast, Hillary Clinton was not prosecuted, not even
a teensy-weensy bit, after publicly spoliating 33,000 emails about yoga classes and wedding dresses
and then having the hard drive taken from her bathroom to be hammered to smithereens.
The
FBI Targeted Patriotic Conservatives Exercising Their First Amendment Rights: 'They're All
Bleeping Terrorists'. Antifa? Black Lives Matter? Come on, man!
You'll find it comforting to know that the FBI has been busy tracking the real terrorists that
threaten the safety of every decent, law-abiding American today: people who traveled to Washington
for Trump's rally against election fraud on Jan. 6, 2021, and Americans who dare to oppose the
relentless sacrifices to Moloch that are the cornerstone of the Democrat Party's program. The
FBI has become so thoroughly corrupt and politicized that its agents apparently have no problem
serving as attack dogs for the Left's sinister agenda.
FBI
politicized J6 cases, targeted pro-lifers, whistleblowers tell House panel on
weaponization. The FBI has politicized cases regarding Jan. 6 defendants and
pro-lifers while retaliating against internal whistleblowers, some of those whistleblowers
testified last month to the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal
Government, according to portions of transcripts reviewed by Just the News. Retired FBI
supervisory intelligence analyst George Hill, who retired last year from the bureau's Boston field
office, testified that the Washington Field Office pressured other field offices to investigate
citizens for activities protected by the First Amendment. Hill's own Boston Field Office, he
said, pushed back against pressure from Washington to open cases on, first, seven individuals who
came up in a sweep of bank records served up by the Bank of America, and then a larger group
of 140 Americans guilty of nothing more than riding buses to D.C. to attend former President Trump's
Stop the Steal rally on Jan. 6, 2021.
FBI
Director Chris Wray Defends Sending 30 Armed Agents to Arrest Pro-Life Father Mark Houck.
It has become abundantly clear that the Biden administration and their accomplices are in favor of
abortion. They'll do whatever it takes to further the pro-abort narrative even if that means
allowing pro-aborts to get away with violent acts of domestic terrorism while arresting innocent
pro-lifers. Flashback to September 2022, when father and husband Mark Houck was bombarded with
at least two-dozen armed FBI agents and arrested over a minor altercation he'd had with an abortion
supporter. The arrest was absolutely berserk and Houck, as of Jan. 2023, has been cleared
of all counts. Nonetheless, the FBI is still claiming they weren't biased in their arrest.
FBI
threat tag created after Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling 'shifted' to focus on pro-lifers,
whistleblower says. The FBI created a threat tag following the Supreme Court's
decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last year, but it later "shifted" to focus on pro-life
individuals, an agent-turned-whistleblower told the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization
of the Federal Government. FBI Special Agent Garret O'Boyle, from the Wichita Resident Agency
in the Kansas City Field Office, also said the FBI made him divide one domestic terrorism case into
"four different cases," in what he described as an effort by the bureau to be able to show Congress
an influx of domestic terrorism cases.
FBI
Whistleblower Claims Agency Forced Him To Juice Domestic Terrorism Numbers. An FBI
whistleblower told the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government
that the FBI had him divide up domestic terrorism cases to juice the number. FBI Special
Agent Garret O'Boyle of the Kansas City field office claimed the agency had him divide one domestic
terrorism case into "four different cases," Fox News reported Thursday. Dividing cases of
domestic terrorism into multiple subdivisions allowed the FBI to go to Congress and say "look at
all the domestic terrorism we've investigated," O'Boyle said. "Where, really, I was working on
one case," O'Boyle continued. "But, the FBI can then say, well, he actually had four, and so we
need you to give us more money because look at how big of a threat all this domestic terrorism is."
FBI
Shielded Identities Of Undercover Assets Who May Have Been Inside Capitol On Jan. 6, Whistleblower
Says. The FBI's Washington Field Office (WFO) affirmed that there may have been
"undercover officers" and "confidential human sources" inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021,
according to whistleblower testimony obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The FBI's
Washington Field Office requested the Boston Field Office open investigations into 140 individuals
who took buses from Massachusetts to D.C. on Jan. 6., but denied the office's request to see video
proving those individuals were inside the Capitol, FBI whistleblower George Hill said during a Feb. 10
interview with the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. The
office claimed they needed to "protect" the identity of possible undercover agents, according to Hill.
The Boston office initially opened cases on two individuals that "definitive evidence" showed were in
restricted areas of the Capitol, Hill said. Because those individuals organized the buses to
D.C., the WFO wanted cases opened on every individual on the bus.
Attorney
general approves of treating pro-life activists like terrorists. When a peaceful
citizen offers to be booked voluntarily, but an armed team in riot gear shows up at his house
instead, that arrest procedure is, on its very face, unnecessary, abusive, and possibly
dangerous. The only, repeat only, acceptable response is to say, "That was an
excessive use of threatened force, for which I apologize on behalf of the Justice Department, and
of the sort I will not allow to happen again." Period, end of story. With scared
children running around, somebody could get killed if a sudden movement startles an armed
agent. If the FBI won't forswear such heavy use of force for ordinary arrests, somebody
surely will eventually get killed. If and when that happens, then morally, if not
legally, [Attorney General Merrick] Garland would be guilty of being an accomplice to murder.
Former
FBI agent sentenced to six years for taking bribes from organized crime figure. Babak
Broumand stood in a courtroom on Monday in shackles and a white jumpsuit as a federal judge
balanced the ledger of his life. There was the work Broumand did as an FBI agent, thwarting
terrorist plots and threats from hostile nations. Some missions were so secret they could not
even be discussed in court. And then there were the bribes he took from an organized crime
figure. "Where do you go?" U.S. District Judge Gary Klausner asked before sentencing
Broumand to six years in prison — four years less than what prosecutors had requested.
Twitter
Coordinated with Intel Agencies. Over the course of some 15 "Twitter Files"
exposés, independent journalists also revealed the tech giant worked closely with
intelligence agencies, resulting in the censorship of more speech. As Matt Taibbi put it:
["]The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance
and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government — from the State
Department to the Pentagon to the CIA.["] "Requests poured in from FBI offices all
over the country, day after day, hour after hour: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Baltimore," Taibbi wrote,
with Twitter "taking requests from every conceivable government agency, from state officials in
Wyoming, Georgia, Minnesota, Connecticut, California, and others to the NSA, FBI, DHS, DOD, DOJ,
and many others." And although Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk, could only share Twitter's
internal communications, that material showed the CIA — referred to under the euphemism
"Other Government Agencies" in the emails — "ended up sharing intelligence through the
FBI and FITF [Foreign Influence Task Force] not just with Twitter, but with Yahoo!, Twitch,
Cloudfare, LinkedIn, even Wikimedia."
A Partisan Judge's
Parting Rampage. Efforts to uncover election irregularities or lawfully object to the
outcome are under criminal investigation resulting in the unprecedented weaponization of legal and
judicial authority conducted by unaccountable prosecutors and judges. Enabling this farce in
the nation's capital is Beryl Howell, the chief judge of the D.C. District Court. A
former Democratic staffer on Capitol Hill, Howell was appointed to the bench by Barack Obama in
2010 and elevated to chief judge in 2016. Since then, Howell has steered the government's yearslong
effort to put Trump in handcuffs. She managed the grand jury proceedings for Special Counsel
Robert Mueller and is currently overseeing the Justice Department's latest iteration of its "Get
Trump" campaign — a sweeping investigation into alleged attempts to "overturn" the 2020
election. Her latest broadside is aimed at Representative Scott Perry (R-Pa.). FBI agents,
acting at the direction of the rogue Washington Field Office, stole Perry's cell phone on August 9,
2022, the day after the same office executed an armed raid at Mar-a-Lago. Perry was traveling
with his family in New Jersey at the time when agents seized his phone, copied its contents, and
returned the device.
30
years ago, the FBI might have had its biggest bomb: the World Trade Center attack. On
Feb. 26, 1993, a massive bomb in a van exploded in the parking garage beneath the World Trade
Center, killing six people, injuring more than a thousand and causing half a billion dollars in
damage. If the vehicle had been parked a few feet closer to one of the pillars, an entire
tower could have collapsed. The FBI "cracked the case" when a knucklehead plotter demanded a
refund for his $400 deposit for the Ryder rental van used for the bombing. Time observed the
FBI "looked supremely capable in speedily rounding up suspects in the World Trade Center bombing."
FBI Director William Sessions declared, "Based on what was known to us at the time, we have no
reason to believe we could have prevented the bombing of the World Trade Center." Nonsense. [...]
After the bombing, the FBI quickly rehired [Emad] Salem and promised him $1 million to develop
evidence of additional terrorist plots. Salem didn't trust the feds to pay so he secretly recorded
his conversations with FBI agents. In August 1993, as the case was heading for trial, news leaked
that Salem had made tapes of more than 100 hours of his conversations with FBI agents and
handlers. Those tapes portrayed the FBI as co-conspirator with the terrorist plotters.
C'mon,
FBI. Just admit you stole the civil war gold. I will readily admit that I've been a bit obsessed with the
story of the Finders Keepers treasure hunters and the lost shipment of civil war gold they claim the FBI stole from them
ever since the story first broke almost two years ago. What's not to like? It's a tale that has all the
makings of a Hollywood script. A stolen shipment of tons of gold bars that was allegedly buried in a cave in rural
Dents Run, Pennsylvania. A government agency acting in a shady fashion in the dark of night. It was an
instant classic. Now the court case brought by Dennis Parada seeking to force the FBI to release all of their
records from the event appears to be nearing its end. A federal judge is preparing to rule on whether the Bureau
will have to turn over all of the remaining documents, photographs, and video that it has refused to deliver despite
multiple FOIA requests. So will this story end with a bang or a whimper?
The
FBI's Balkan scandal keeps spreading. On Monday, I dropped [sic] a report that revealed the Federal Bureau
of Investigation's embarrassing scandal surrounding its former star counterintelligence agent Charles McGonigal, who's
been indicted on corruption-related federal charges, is much worse than the Department of Justice and the media have
admitted. While McGonigal was still serving as a senior FBI official in 2017 he became a partner of Albanian Prime
Minister Edi Rama and his ruling Socialist Party. In that capacity, McGonigal is believed to have extorted wealthy
Albanians in a sort of protection racket where the bureau bigwig promised to protect the oligarchs from U.S. sanctions
in exchange for big bribes. McGonigal's haul from this was on the order of $32 million (which was presumably
shared with his partners). I also reported that McGonigal shook down Shefqet Kastrati, Albania's top oil magnate,
for 12 million euros, nearly $15 million, in 2017.
The Editor says...
"Dropped" is an ambiguous slang expression whose current usage originated in the music industry about ten years ago. When
boasting, "drop" means to publish or release a recording or a report. Otherwise, the word "drop" most often means to discard
or discontinue something of no remaining value. When accusing the FBI of scandalous behavior, it is probably wise to refrain
from trendy slang and any other terminology that could be easily misconstrued.
NYC
sent fingerprints of unvaxxed teachers to FBI. As the months and years go by, we continue to learn more
and more about the government's handling of the pandemic response. And the more we learn, the uglier the picture
becomes. I'm not just talking about the federal government here, either. State and municipal government
leaders were drinking deeply from the cup of executive authority during a declared state of emergency as well.
Today's story has elements of both and it even involves the Federal Bureau of Investigation, potentially adding another
dark mark to the FBI's record. It's being alleged that the municipal government of New York City sent the
fingerprints of public school teachers who were fired after refusing to take the COVID injections to the Bureau.
They further assigned a "problem code" to the teachers' records, impeding their ability to find new work
elsewhere. This sounds like something that would happen in China or Russia, but it was reportedly taking place
right here in America.

Proof the FBI Is Being Weaponized Against American Citizens. On Thursday, former FBI agent Nicole Parker,
an 11-year veteran of the agency before she quit four months ago, testified before the House Subcommittee on
Weaponization of the Federal Government. [...] Her testimony came just a day after another former agent released a
document that the Richmond, Virginia, office of the FBI had generated urging field agents to infiltrate the Catholic
church looking for terrorists. Kyle Seraphin, a former FBI special agent, federal whistleblower, and USAF veteran,
posted a copy of the report dated January 23, 2023, regarding "Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in
Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology." The report referred to "Radical-Traditionalist Catholics" (RTCs) and
expressed "high confidence" that agents can mitigate their terrorist objectives by infiltrating local Catholic
churches. And where did the FBI get such information?
FBI
whistleblower raises fresh concerns about bank record mining, undercover agents in J6 probe. A recently
retired FBI supervisory intelligence analyst told Congress in a whistleblower disclosure that agents in Boston were
improperly pressured by Washington to open criminal cases on 140 people who had simply taken a bus ride to the
Jan. 6 rally in Washington. The agents refused because there was no evidence the attendees engaged in any
criminality, the whistleblower said. George Hill's testimony to the House Judiciary Committee also raised new
civil liberty concerns about the FBI's Jan. 6 probe, including whether the Bureau mined Americans' bank records
without court authority and whether the agency possesses video footage it is refusing to release because it identifies
undercover agents and human sources who were at the U.S. Capitol that fateful day.
Democrats are okay with it, but... Republicans
Are Demanding Answers After FBI, DOJ Attempted to Label Catholics as 'Potential Terrorists'. Republicans
are calling out the FBI and the Justice Department (DOJ) after a leaked internal FBI memo revealed that the agency had
plans to label Catholics as 'potential terrorists." A coalition of 20 GOP state attorneys general, led by Virginia
attorney general Jason Miyares, is demanding answers from FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney General
Merrick Garland, saying they are "horrified" to learn that the FBI's Richmond office circulated a report linking
"radical traditionalist Catholics" to white supremacists and violent extremism.
Did
the FBI collect the fingerprints of unvaccinated NYC teachers? One year ago, New York City fired over
1,430 city employees who refused to take the COVID vaccine. Several of those workers filed a class action lawsuit
against the City. During that lawsuit, the teachers' attorney introduced a sworn deposition stating that, when
teachers refused the vaccination, the city flagged them as "problems" and handed their fingerprints over to both the FBI
and the New York criminal justice system. Michael Kane, the named plaintiff in Kane v. DeBlasio, has
written a post revealing how New York City tried to criminalize teachers who refused to comply with the demand that they
take injections of an experimental agent that's now proving to have been extremely dangerous. He explains that,
during a hearing on February 8, the attorney defending New York City "stated that educators fired for declining
covid vaccination were not removed for misconduct, but rather for not meeting a requirement for employment."
In the 1960's, people like this were called "outside agitators." The FBI
Paid a Violent Felon to Infiltrate Racial Justice Movement. As racial justice protests broke out
nationwide in the summer of 2020, a man driving a silver hearse became a regular at the demonstrations in Denver.
He was a paunchy 5-foot-7 with a ruddy complexion and wore military fatigues with patches on the sleeves. By
activist standards, he was an old-timer: pushing 50 as he swaggered through crowds of teens and 20-something protesters,
a cigar clamped in his lips. [...] The driver of the hearse filled with guns was Michael Adam Windecker II. He went
by the nickname Mickey and boasted of having been a soldier for the French Foreign Legion and the Peshmerga, the Kurdish
fighting force known most recently for battling the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. [...] Windecker was a fed.
The FBI paid him tens of thousands of dollars in cash to infiltrate and spy on racial justice groups during the summer
of 2020. For the last year, I've been investigating Windecker and his work for the FBI.
Whistleblower
Says FBI Mined Bank Records for the J6 Probe. George Hill is a military veteran and a former analyst for
the NSA who has retired from the FBI's Boston field office. Hill recently talked to the House Judiciary Committee
about the FBI's probe of the events surrounding the January 6 riot at the nation's Capitol. He also talked with
Just the News Wednesday night about his concerns surrounding the agency's activities. According to Hill, agents at
the Boston field office were pressured to open criminal cases against people who had done nothing wrong.
Originally, agents were told to open cases against seven people who raised red flags during a sweep of records from the
Bank of America. Then, the scope increased to include people who had merely taken a bus to the Trump rally.
Hill said that the act of getting on a bus was not enough to merit criminal probes, and the Boston office refused to
conduct the investigations. This greatly displeased the Washington field office. The issue moved up the
chain of command in an effort to paint J6 participants as domestic terrorists, but the Boston office held its ground.
Former Agent
Breaks Down In Tears When Detailing Her Time With 'Politicized' FBI. Former FBI Special Agent Nicole
Parker broke down in tears Thursday while testifying during a congressional hearing. Parker said during the Select
Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government's inaugural hearing that she left her job at a hedge fund
after 9/11 to serve her country, working as an FBI Special Agent from 2011-2022. "I considered it a very sacred
responsibility and was honored to be trusted to protect and serve the American people," Parker said, recounting how she
joined a Miami field office. [...] "It was emotionally jarring, but I believed I was making an impactful
difference. And every day I woke up and embraced being a Special FBI agent until things changed. Over the
course of my 12+ years, the FBI's trajectory has transformed. On paper, the bureau's mission has remained the same
but its priorities and governing principles shifted dramatically. The FBI became politically weaponized from the
top in Washington and trickling down to the field offices."
FBI
HQ Retracting Richmond Field Office Document Targeting 'Radical Traditionalist Catholics'.
[Scroll down] The FBI Richmond office considers the traditionalists are a danger on par with terrorists and
white supremacists. Something tells me they don't separate the actual Traditional Catholics and us, who love some
of the traditions. It doesn't matter. The traditionalists and the rest of us are not radicals. If
you're a Radical Traditionalist Catholic (RTC), then White supremacist. Do you prefer the Latin Mass? White
supremacist. Do you prefer to partake in other Catholic traditions pre-Vatican II? You're a racist
extremist.
FBI
Internal Memo Warns against 'Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology'. The FBI's Richmond field office
released an internal memo last month warning against "radical traditionalist Catholic ideology," and claiming it "almost
certainly presents new mitigation opportunities," according to a document shared by an FBI whistleblower on
Wednesday. Kyle Seraphin, who was a special agent at the bureau for six years before he was indefinitely suspended
without pay in June 2022, published the document, "Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in
Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities," on UncoverDC.com.
"In making this assessment, FBI Richmond relied on the key assumption that [racially or ethnically motivated
extremists] will continue to find [radical-traditionalist Catholic or RTC] ideology attractive and will continue to
attempt to connect with RTC adherents, both virtually via social media and in-person at places of worship," the document
from January 23 states.
Congress
is set to expose what may be the largest censorship system in U.S. history. This coming week a new House
select subcommittee will hold its first hearing on the FBI and the possible "weaponization" of government
agencies. A variety of such controversies have contributed to plunging public trust in government and the FBI in
particular. The role of the FBI in prior scandals will remain a point of heated debate in Congress. However,
members of both parties should be able to agree on the need to investigate one of the most serious allegations:
Censorship by surrogate. Many of the allegations of FBI bias are worthy of investigation. Some of those
allegations are problems of personnel who can be removed. But a far more menacing problem has emerged in recent
months with the release of information from Twitter.
Planned
New FBI HQ Is Twice the Size of the Pentagon. The federal government is proceeding with plans to build a
new FBI headquarters complex twice the size of the Pentagon building. Riveted into the colossal new project are
woke regulations to ensure that the FBI center will comply with diversity, equity, LGBTQ+, and climate change political
goals. The plan, unveiled last September, has received little attention. For years the FBI has sought to
vacate its present headquarters, a brutalist concrete bunker on stilts and occupying two city blocks between the White
House and the Capitol. Plans for the new FBI headquarters specify that it will be built on one of three sites in
suburban Virginia and Maryland. Those sites are large parcels of 58, 61, and 80 acres.
Does the FBI Have Spies in
Congress? House Republicans vow to pull no punches when investigating the FBI this session of
Congress. The bureau may be monitoring them in return. This is according to attorney Jesse Trentadue, who
about a decade ago uncovered the FBI's "sensitive informant program." He said the bureau uses it to embed
informants in the media, congressional offices, churches, defense teams and other "sensitive" institutions.
Trentadue never found direct evidence of FBI informants operating in Congress — but that's because a federal
court struck down his lawsuit seeking records about such activity in 2015. Nearly eight years later, Trentadue
told Headline USA that he hopes the newly formed House select subcommittee to investigate the weaponization of the
federal government will resume what his lawsuit started. Doing so would be in Congress's best interest, he said.
How
the GOP has used whistleblowers to expose FBI controversies. The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee
is seeking testimony from FBI whistleblowers to attempt to get around the Biden administration's "stonewalling" on
providing information about the investigations into former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. The new
revelation about congressional oversight on the classified documents saga is just the latest example of how
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has used whistleblowers to shed light on issues inside the FBI. Jordan and other
Republicans have previously revealed that FBI whistleblowers have alleged serious flaws in how the bureau has conducted
major investigations, including those related to Hunter Biden, the Capitol riot, and parental protests at school board meetings.
Fix
is in: FBI bungling case against Biden over top-secret documents. The FBI issued the "all clear" on its
latest search of one of President Biden's residences. The announcement came with the first day of special counsel
Robert Hur on the job at the Justice Department. Hur may find that the Biden legal team feels that "all clear"
extends beyond the latest search. It could be challenging to make a criminal case after how the investigation has
been handled. At every stage, the FBI has adopted an approach that would compromise or complicate any criminal
charge. The FBI left the home untouched for over three months after classified documents were found in Biden's
former office in DC. While it was recently learned that the FBI did go to that office a couple weeks later, they
reportedly elected to have personal counsel for the president conduct searches on the residences. Biden then spent
weeks traveling to these residences after the FBI waited to search the premises.
Another
Trump-hating FBI lovebird flies out of the woodwork. A certain amount of foofaraw came about when FBI
bigshots Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were caught sending Trump-hating text-messages while in the throes of an
extramarital affair. And rightly, most of the attention went to the pair's illegal use of government property and
underhanded Borgia-style machinations against the incoming U.S. president. But their openly out there extramarital
affair is worth noting, too. Under FBI regulations, adulterous affairs are a firing offense, given that such
behavior puts national security at risk and automatically leads to the loss of one's security clearance. There's a
lot of this going on at that troubled wokester agency now that a new lovebird case has emerged in the bust of FBI
counterintelligence chief Charles McGonigal, yet nobody seems to be stopping it. Sure enough, an angry mistress
has emerged in McGonigal's case and she was reportedly instrumental in exposing his influence-peddling on behalf of a
sanctioned Russian oligarch.
Classified
documents found at Mike Pence's home in Indiana. Lawyers for former Vice President Mike Pence said a
"small number" of classified documents were found at his home in Carmel, Indiana, last week. Pence's lawyers
notified the National Archives and Records Administration of the discovery on Wednesday, according to a letter obtained
by CNBC. The classified documents were discovered on Jan. 16 after Pence had outside counsel with experience
handling classified documents search his own home and records "out of an abundance of caution," following the news that
classified documents were found at President Joe Biden's home and office, an attorney for Pence told the Archives.
The discovery, which was reported earlier by CNN, came after Pence said on several occasions he did not have any
classified documents. Gregory Jacob, an attorney at O'Melveny tasked with handling Pence's records, said in letter
sent Sunday to the National Archives that the Justice Department sent FBI agents to Pence's home at 9:30 p.m. on
Thursday to retrieve the documents, which were being stored in a safe, while he was in Washington, D.C., for the March
for Life.
The Editor says...
Why do FBI agents always "visit" at night? Why can't they drop by during normal business hours?
Is "shock and awe" really necessary when confronting somebody like Mike Pence, or is it just a bad habit?
The
festering rot at the FBI seems bigger and deeper than we ever guessed. Charles McGonigal, a retired
counterintelligence investigator from the FBI's New York Field Office, was just arrested because he allegedly took
substantial sums of money from Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire, to get the latter off a U.S. sanctions list.
Where this goes beyond the ordinary corruption that periodically crops up among people with too much power, too few
morals, and too little accountability is that McGonigal was one of the people investigating Trump over the Russia Hoax,
while Deripaska employed Christopher Steele, whose false dossier seeded the Russia Hoax. Anyone who paid attention
during the "hot" years of the Russia Hoax recognizes Deripaska's name. He was a close ally of Vladimir Putin and,
in 2018, the U.S. government sanctioned him for his involvement in Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea.
Tucker
Carlson Asks Why FBI and DOJ Do Not Target Antifa Domestic Terrorists. Intellectually honest observers
have long realized that Antifa, as an organized domestic violence movement in the United States, could not exist if it
was not supported directly or with willful blindness by the FBI. Sometimes you just have to accept things as they are,
and not as you would wish them to be. If the FBI did not support Antifa, it would be simple to target their
financial mechanisms, fundraising platforms and social media networks that showcase their communications. If the
FBI didn't support Antifa, they would simply target the networks and arrest the participants for domestic terror related
activity. It is not that difficult to see the FBI doesn't do this because the FBI/DOJ support the violence.
FBI
Official Who Investigated Trump for Russian Collusion Gets Arrested for Russian Collusion. In a hilarious
and astonishing turn of events, one of the FBI officials who investigated Donald Trump for supposed Russian collusion
has now been arrested for Russian collusion. Former agent Charles McGonigal, who headed up counterintelligence for
the FBI's New York field office during the Trump-Russia saga, was placed under arrest for allegedly taking payments from
Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. What was he being paid to do? According to CBS News, McGonigal and an
interpreter named Sergey Shestakov agreed to investigate another Russian oligarch that Deripaska was targeting.
Former
top FBI official Charles McGonigal arrested over ties to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. A former top FBI
official in New York has been arrested over his ties to a Russian oligarch, law enforcement sources told ABC News
Monday. Charles McGonigal, who was the special agent in charge of counterintelligence in the FBI's New York Field
Office, is under arrest over his ties to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire who has been sanctioned by the United
States and criminally charged last year with violating those sanctions. McGonigal retired from the FBI in 2018.
He was arrested Saturday afternoon after he arrived at JFK Airport following travel in Sri Lanka, the sources said.
Disturbing
things I learned about the FBI. Over the last month, a team of journalists that includes me has enjoyed
extraordinary access to the internal emails and other documents of the social media platform Twitter. As part of
that investigation, I discovered that the FBI and intelligence community discredited factual information about Hunter
Biden's foreign business dealings both after and before The New York Post revealed them to the world in October 2020.
[...] It's important to understand that Hunter Biden earned tens of millions of dollars in contracts with foreign
businesses, including ones linked to China's government, for which Hunter offered no real work. [Tweet] And
yet, during all of 2020, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies repeatedly primed Twitter's head of site integrity
(and later head of safety and trust) Yoel Roth to dismiss reports of Hunter Biden's laptop as a Russian "hack and leak"
operation.
FBI
offers implausible excuse for not overseeing Biden document search. The sickening, pro-Democratic double
standards at the Justice Department and FBI continue in full force. The Justice Department's decision not to have
FBI agents or other federal officials present as President Joe Biden 's personal lawyers searched for more classified
documents is compelling evidence, yet again, of two-tiered law enforcement. The department's excuses, meanwhile,
are farcical. "Mr. Biden's legal team ... discussed with the Justice Department the prospect of having FBI
agents present while Mr. Biden's lawyers conducted the additional searches," reported the Wall Street Journal.
Bizarrely, the Justice Department declined, instead deciding that because Biden's team appeared to be cooperating,
it would rely on that team to conduct the expanded search unsupervised.
Merrick
Garland kept FBI out of Biden document search. Not because it happened. As I said yesterday, I think
both the Trump and Biden classified document stories are nothingburgers. Maybe they shouldn't be, but if either
man wanted to compromise national security, they could do it without the aid of stolen documents. Both are
egotistical careless men who, due to their positions, can get away with stuff like this. So it goes. But the
Biden documents story does huge political damage to the [frivolous] charges they were trying to get Trump on, and as
such it is a huge embarrassment to Team Democrat. The hypocrisy is glaringly obvious and impossible to ignore,
however much MSNBC and the Democrats want you to. And the hypocrisy gets worse by the minute.
Why Is The FBI Hiding
Seth Rich's Two Laptops? Officially, the DNC staffer Seth Rich was murdered in a bungled burglary on July
10th, 2016. The problem with this story is that the FBI has been forced to admit recently that it has not only a copy of
Seth Rich's home laptop, but also his work laptop. Attorney Ty Clevenger has been responsible for discovering
these facts — using FOIA requests. [Tweet] Why would the FBI have Seth Rich's two
computers — unless Seth Rich was involved in the DNC email leak? [Tweet] The latest update on
this bombshell story arrived on December 9th, when the FBI provided a new 8-page memo to Ty Clevenger. The FBI
admits to having both Seth Rich's personal laptop and his work laptop. It also claims that the work laptop should
not be subject to any FOIA requests because the FBI "collected it from a non-government third party." The FBI also
admits that "an outside entity" made "an image of the work laptop." The agency does not want to turn over any
records regarding the work laptop, of course.
Elon
Highlights 'Concerning' Process to Destroy Secret Instructions from FBI to Twitter. We've been reporting
on the troubling close relationship that the FBI has had with Twitter. The Twitter files have revealed the
continual effort to censor people on the site as well as to act as a conduit for requests to censor from other
governmental agencies — including the intelligence community. Now PayPal co-founder and general partner
of Craft Ventures, David Sacks, who has been close to Elon Musk, is highlighting one of the most concerning aspects of
that FBI contacts to Benny Johnson on his show. Sacks explained how the FBI was delivering secret instructions to
Twitter via a special tool called "teleport" so that what they sent would disappear after ten days. According to
Sacks, such instructions could not be screenshot. [Tweet] But they could tell that some messages were sent
via the teleport tool when they were looking at the emails and the FBI would tell Twitter Safety head Yoel Roth to look
at the messages they just sent him on teleport.
3
Ways the Federal Government Is Being 'Weaponized'. In the year leading up to November's midterm elections,
Republicans constantly promised that if they won control of the House, they would launch a series of investigations into
the Biden administration. Newly-elected House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) seems determined to make good on that
promise. He is overseeing the creation of a new select committee, which will be led by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)
to investigate abuses of power and the "Weaponization of Government." [...] The committee will look into "the
politicization of the FBI" in relation to the Hunter Biden laptop story and also its actions against parents speaking
out against problematic material being presented to children in K-12 classrooms. But there are some other areas in
which government agencies appear to be exhibiting a political bias. For starters, the FBI has shown remarkable
bias in how it has approached the abortion issue. Indeed, the Bureau's conduct shows a distinct level of apathy
for protecting those who are pro-life compared to how it has handled situations in which it protects those who are
pro-abortion.
Report:
Jim Jordan to Chair Subcommittee Probing into Politicization of FBI. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) will
reportedly chair a select subcommittee in the new Congress to investigate the politicization of the FBI revealed by the
"Twitter Files." The subcommittee will be called the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal
Government. It will give Jordan, the incoming chair of the Judiciary Committee, the means to launch investigations
into the White House, big tech, and weaponized law enforcement agencies, according to Axios. Republicans are
touting Jordan's subcommittee as a "Church Committee," a reference to a 1970s investigation by Senator Frank Church that
uncovered intelligence wrongdoing by both parties.
Former
FBI Agent Seeking Probation After Admitting to Destroying Evidence. A former FBI agent is requesting that
an Arkansas federal judge give him a year of probation after he pleaded guilty to destroying evidence while
investigating a corruption case against Republican Arkansas State Sen. Jon Woods. In August, the Department
of Justice announced former FBI Special Agent Robert Cessario pleaded guilty in the Western District of Arkansas to
erasing the contents of his government computer hard drive. Cessario was one of the agents who investigated Woods,
who was convicted on 15 corruption-related charges and was sentenced to more than 18 years in federal prison in
2018. The charge that Cessario pled guilty to carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
Retired
FBI boss says agency has lost independence, been co-opted by liberal DOJ ideologues. In a stunning rebuke,
the FBI's retired chief of criminal investigations says his old agency has yielded the independence Congress gave it
under the law and is now subservient to a group of liberal ideologues inside the Justice Department who have pressured
agents to stray into unwarranted domestic spying and censorship. Ex-FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker on
Tuesday became the latest law enforcement or political figure to support creating an independent commission modeled
after the U.S. Senate's 1970s Church Committee to investigate the FBI's practices and impose reforms on the storied law
enforcement agency.
The Coup We Never Knew.
Did someone or something seize control of the United States? [...] What happened to the once trusted FBI? Why
almost overnight did its directors decide to mislead Congress, to deceive judges with concocted tales from fake dossiers
and with doctored writs? Did Congress pass a law that our federal leaders in the FBI or CIA could lie with
impunity under oath?
10 Scandals
To Keep Your Eye On In 2023. [#4] FBI Corruption: Since SpyGate exploded in 2018 with then-House
Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes' release of his memorandum detailing the FBI's abuse of the FISA court system,
evidence of FBI malfeasance has continued to mount. While, to date, the FBI has avoided any real consequences for
SpyGate and the burying of the Hunter Biden laptop story, last year saw a slew of agents becoming whistleblowers.
These whistleblowers include some in "senior positions," who reportedly told Sen. Chuck Grassley's office that FBI
officials "falsely portray[ed] as disinformation evidence acquired from multiple sources that provided the FBI
derogatory information related to Hunter Biden's financial and foreign business activities, even though some of that
information had already been or could be verified." More whistleblowers also reached out to GOP Rep. Jim
Jordan, reporting that FBI officials "allegedly pressured agents to label cases as 'domestic violent extremism' to boost
case numbers." And multiple whistleblowers "have disclosed how the FBI leadership is conducting a 'purge' of FBI
employees holding conservative views," and is allowing political bias to affect FBI investigations.
The FBI
Transformed Into The KGB For The 'Clinton Crime Family,' They're Now Fuhrer Biden's Personal Gestapo. The
FBI has destroyed evidence of crimes committed by party officials. During the Clinton email investigation, the
feds destroyed computers and cell phones, at the request of the party official running for President, who also happened
to be the target of the investigation — Hillary Rodham Clinton. The FBI fabricated evidence against
officials working for the RNC. That would be people promoting a candidate to prevent the American communists from
getting 4 more years of power. An FBI lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, actually changed an email to mean the exact
opposite of its intended message — to obtain a FISA warrant to surveil the Trump campaign. After the
2016 election the FBI participated in a coup attempt against a duly elected president — because he was not of
the preferred party. They triggered the appointment of a special counsel to investigate a crime that they knew
never happened. They used the investigation, not the existence of any actual evidence, to taint the administration
and support attempts to remove the President from office. In the lead up to the 2020 election, the FBI hid
evidence of crimes by the party's candidate for President, Joseph Robinette Biden. When the existence of a laptop
containing evidence of Joe Biden's corruption became known, the FBI kept its possession of the laptop secret and worked
with social media companies to kill any public disclosure of the evidence. An FBI disinformation operation claimed
that the laptop was a Russian disinformation operation.
What Will the FBI Not
Do? What are the people to do about a federal law enforcement agency whose directors either repeatedly lie
under oath, or mislead, or do not cooperate with congressional overseers? What should we do with a bureau that
alters court documents, deceives the court with information the FBI had good reason to know was false and leaks records
of confidential presidential conversations to the media to prompt the appointment of a special prosecutor? What
should be done with a government agency that pays social media corporations to warp the dissemination of the news and
suppress free expression and communications? Or an agency that hires a foreign national to gather dirt on a
presidential candidate and plots to ensure that there is "no way" a presidential candidate "gets elected" and
destroys subpoenaed evidence? What, if anything, should the people do about a once-respected law enforcement
agency that repeatedly smears its critics, most recently as "conspiracy theorists"?
When
the FBI Attacks Critics as "Conspiracy Theorists," It's Time to Reform the Bureau. "Conspiracy theorists
... feeding the American public misinformation" is a familiar attack line for anyone raising free-speech concerns over
the FBI's role in social media censorship. What is different is that this attack came from the country's largest
law enforcement agency, the FBI — and, since the FBI has made combatting "disinformation" a major focus of
its work, the labeling of its critics is particularly menacing. Fifty years ago, the Watergate scandal provoked a
series of events that transformed not only the presidency but federal agencies like the FBI. Americans demanded answers
about the involvement of the FBI and other federal agencies in domestic politics. Ultimately, Congress not only
investigated the FBI but later impanelled the Church Committee to investigate a host of other abuses by intelligence agencies.
How
the FBI Used Twitter to Lie to You. The FBI we know is a creation of Hollywood. From the beginning,
J. Edgar Hoover sought to insert the bureau into movies and TV shows, to portray the agency as grounded in American
values, and special agents as righteous competence personified. [...] This image of the FBI fails to highlight an
important fact. The FBI is allowed to lie to you. They can lie to acquire information or encourage a
confession. [...] But the most remarkable thing about the agency is that Theodore Roosevelt created the FBI via
executive order after Congress refused his request to create a national police agency. Now that agency, born in
defiance of congressmen who saw no constitutional place for a national police force, is staffed by people who think it's
their right to use any means they can find or develop, to override the constitutional procedure for choosing our
president.
Juvenile
bomb-threat caller never posed credible danger to HBCUs, but FBI refused to say so until after midterms.
The recently announced results of the FBI's investigation into bomb threats made in February targeting Historically
Black Colleges and Universities effectively debunk the narrative that these threats were made by a malicious group of
white supremacists. On November 14 — six days after the midterm elections — USA Today
reported a senior FBI official said the "bulk of the threats leveled against historically Black colleges earlier this
year are believed to be linked to a single juvenile who has been prosecuted as a minor by state authorities." The
agency's admission raised more questions than it answered. What the feds have not said is:
• The race of the suspect
• The motive of the suspect
• When the suspect was charged
• What state was the suspect charged in
• Why the agency did not charge the suspect as an adult after terrorizing HBCUs
And perhaps most importantly: Why didn't the agency share the results of the investigation far sooner than a few days after
the midterm elections — and after multiple requests from Congressional Republicans and Democrats?
Twitter
Files fuel suspicions that FBI tipped the scales for Biden in 2020. The FBI's coordination with social
media companies ahead of the 2020 presidential election, revealed in Elon Musk's "Twitter Files," is galvanizing
long-held suspicions that the FBI ran defense for then-candidate Joseph R. Biden as his links to son Hunter Biden's
potentially illegal business schemes emerged. Mr. Musk's steady drip of internal documents has exposed the
extent to which the FBI worked with company executives to moderate content on the platform. It included weekly
meetings with Twitter executives before the company suppressed the New York Post's October 2020 report exposing emails
found on Hunter Biden's now-infamous laptop computer. The emails refuted Mr. Biden's claims that he didn't
know about and wasn't involved in his son's overseas ventures. During those meetings, which also included
officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security, Twitter
executives were cued to rumors that Hunter Biden would be the target of a "hack and leak operation."
Keywords: Whitewash, conflict of interest, deep state, swept under the rug. FBI
May Have Violated First Amendment with Twitter Censorship. Will the FBI Investigate? For years now,
Leftists have waved away freedom of speech concerns over Big Tech's censorship of voices that dissent from the Left's
agenda. Twitter, Facebook, Google and the rest are all private companies, you see, and so they can set any speech
policies they want. Now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter, that argument has been consigned to the dustbin of
history, as it might suggest that Musk is free to restore the freedom of speech on his platform. But evidence is
piling up that the FBI was actively involved in getting pre-Musk Twitter to censor patriots, and it may be that the
bureau really did violate the First Amendment in nudging Twitter to deep-six voices it disliked. Now the question
is: who can investigate the FBI? Will the FBI investigate itself?
Raiding Arizona.
A few weeks ago, Julie Kelly tweeted that FBI director Christopher Wray has scheduled a "bureau-wide call with all
36,000+ FBI employees" this month. This is without recent precedent and if true, I hope it's to announce his
resignation. He should, of course, because the agency he heads has been engaged in more lawbreaking and
unconstitutional conduct than I can easily document in the space allotted me here. I can imagine the blather he'd
spout along the lines of resigning to avoid a witch-hunt which would damage the reputation of the agency. If such
a meeting does take place and he does resign, it will be only to minimize the damage to himself from his incompetent
management of an agency which under his watch has grown out of control, operated as a partisan secret police of the
Democratic party, and rightly earned the distrust of citizens. The FBI agent in charge of the D.C. office silently
resigned just this week. His conduct is illustrative of the Stasi-like operations the FBI under Wray has been
engaged in.
Cleveland:
FBI Lied About The Hunter Biden Laptop Story To Steal The Election From Trump. "Our FBI lied to the media
to get them to censor a story that directly impacted the 2020 election. This is outrageous and you have to
continue on to look at the other breadcrumbs we have," Federalist Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland said on "I'm
Right with Jesse Kelly." [Video clip]
The Twitter Files
And The FBI. As Miranda Devine observed today, there is much more to be divulged. Specifically, the
FBI's meddling in the 2020 election and the FBI's pressure of social media companies, including Facebook and Twitter, to
essentially censor the Hunter Biden story. It's the story of FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan, who
recently testified he was part of that effort: During the deposition, Chan said that he, along with the FBI's
Foreign Influence Task Force and senior Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency officials, had weekly meetings
with major social media companies to warn against Russian disinformation attempts ahead of the 2020 election, according
to a source in the Missouri attorney general's office. These FBI warnings had to do with the potential Russian
"hack and dump" or "hack and leak" of sensitive materials. And they may have contributed to Twitter's assessment
that the Hunter Biden materials may have been hacked, justifying Twitter's censorship of the story. FBI Director
Christopher Wray actually took pride in these efforts, admitting to the agency's involvement with social media companies
"to make sure that their platforms are not used by foreign adversaries to spread disinformation and propaganda."
The censorship was directed from the top.
The FBI
Needs to Be Pulled Up, Root and Branch. The despicable activities of the FBI, some almost certainly
reaching the criminal level, are too well known to repeat here, although Sen. Hawley gives a nice, brief listing of
them in his questioning of The Honourable Mister Wray (s/o). This organization is so steeped in the deepest kind of rot
and corruption that there does not seem to be much hope for its rehabilitation. As analysts and commentators much
more knowledgeable about matters surrounding the descent of this formerly great agency than I could ever pretend to be
have observed, it should be abolished and its various important — non-political — functions spread
among various entities so it can start afresh. The very first act of the Republican who is inaugurated in January
2025 should be the firing of this little cretin and all of his sycophants, after which the real weeding can get
started — pull it up, root and branch!
Key
Takeaways from the FBI Whistleblowers Report. On November 4, 2022, the Republican staff of the House
Judiciary Committee published a report based primarily on whistleblower testimony, describing how the FBI and the
Justice Department have become politically weaponized against conservatives. [...] I think we can draw several obvious
conclusions from the report.
[#1] The FBI and the Justice Department have become hopelessly
politically corrupted against conservatives. The corruption is particularly dangerous because the FBI and the
Justice Department have such enormous power. They can destroy just about anyone they target because they
essentially have unlimited resources. They almost destroyed President Trump and General Flynn. Think what
happens when they come after someone with far fewer resources to fight back.
[#2] The scope of the
corruption is so great and has lasted for such a long time that Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland had to know about
it. If they knew about it and did nothing to stop it, then they approved it.
[#3] The FBI simply
cannot be trusted, and anyone who is being questioned by them must use extreme caution. As the prominent attorney
Harmeet Dhillon has recommended, "never speak to the FBI without your attorney present, and never speak to the FBI
without making an audio or video recording of the entire conversation."
Feds
Had Informants In Proud Boys and Oath Keepers for J6. If Republicans eke out a win in the House of
Representatives — which now seems likely — GOP leaders have promised to investigate numerous
government scandals, including the irredeemably corrupt Federal Bureau of Investigation. One path of inquiry is
how the bureau manufactures data to promote the phony narrative that "domestic violent extremists," i.e., supporters of
Donald Trump, pose a security threat to the country. Whistleblowers recently disclosed how the FBI is
"misrepresenting the scale of domestic violent extremism nationwide by categorizing January 6th-related investigations
as organic cases stemming from local field offices, instead of all related to one single incident," according to a
report by GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee. Shortly after the Capitol protest, FBI Director
Christopher Wray designated the four-hour disturbance as an act of "domestic terror"; federal prosecutors routinely
compare January 6 defendants to terrorists, enabling the government to seek — and receive —
extended jail time for misdemeanors convictions and justify indefinite pretrial detention for nonviolent offenders.
In
Completely Unforeseeable Twist, January 6th 'Conspiracy Theory' Turns out to Be True. What's the current
timeframe these days of "conspiracy theories" becoming fact? Whatever it is, it sure seems to be accelerating.
[...] Despite well over a year of deflections and denials, it is now confirmed that no less than eight FBI agents were
embedded in the Proud Boys organization during the period surrounding January 6th. [Tweet] [...] I'm sure you
are totally shocked by this news. Who could have possibly guessed that Christopher Wray's FBI, which ran an
entrapment scheme involving Gretchen Whitmer prior to the 2020 election, would end up having been intimately
involved in the lead-up to January 6th? You have to admire the framing by the Times, though, pondering how
much "federal investigators were able to learn from them about the violent mob attack." Yes, I'm sure that's a
real mystery. Conversely, the FBI agents likely knew exactly what was being discussed the whole time, which would
mean one of two things. One possibility is that the Proud Boys weren't planning an insurrection and that
conservatives who have called it a spontaneous event have been right all along.
The FBI's Transformation,
from National Police to Domestic Spy Agency. [FBI agent Steve Friend] worked a child pornography detail
before being transferred to the assignment that would upend his life: investigating J6. The FBI not only
took Friend off vital work chasing child predators to pursue questionable investigations of people maybe
connected with the Capitol riots (often in some misdemeanor fashion), they used dubious bureaucratic methods he felt put
him in an impossible spot. Essentially, the FBI made Friend a supervisory agent in cases actually being run by the
Washington field office, a trick replicated across the country that made domestic terrorism numbers appear to balloon
overnight. Instead of one investigation run out of Washington, the Bureau now had hundreds of "terrorism" cases
"opening" in every field office in the country. As a way to manipulate statistics, it was ingenious, but Friend
could see it was also trouble. As a member of a dying breed of agent raised to focus on making cases and securing
convictions, Friend knew putting him nominally in charge of a case he wasn't really running was a gift to any good
defense attorney, should a J6 case ever get to trial.
Can the FBI Be Saved
from Itself — And Can We Be Saved from the FBI? Over the past six years in particular, we have
learned that FBI officials routinely deceive not only the public but also the institutions designed to protect the
public from FBI overreach. Agents lie to supervisors. Supervisors lie to judges. FBI directors mislead
Congress. And almost no one is ever punished. Recent reports from the Justice Department inspector general
found that field agents routinely fail to verify the facts they submit to the surveillance court in their warrant
applications. Another report found that most FBI officials ignore the prohibition on contact with the media.
In September, a Los Angeles judge accused the bureau of misleading the court in a search-warrant application it used to
seize the contents of 1,400 safe-deposit boxes at strip-mall bank, many of which belonged to innocent citizens.
Earlier in 2022, Congress learned that the lead agents investigating Larry Nasser, the USA Gymnastics doctor who
serially abused gymnasts under his care, lied to their superiors about his lack of culpability even though they had
evidence of his crimes, which delayed justice for his victims and allowed Nasser to continue his predations. One
of the agents was allowed to retire with his full pension.
House
Republicans release a scathing report alleging politicization of the DOJ and the FBI. On Friday
[11/4/2022], the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee released 1050 page report detailing the claims made by
myriad whistleblowers at the Federal Bureau of Investigation about the abuse of power and politicization of the nation's
foremost law enforcement authority. They called it "the first comprehensive accounting of the FBI's problems to
date, which undermine the FBI's fundamental law-enforcement mission." The following are the key details of the
report. The report states that Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray are willing
participants in the Biden Administration's weaponization and politicization of law enforcement[.] The
whistleblowers describe the FBI's D.C. leadership as "rotted at its core," with a "systemic culture of
unaccountability," and full of "rampant corruption, manipulation, and abuse" and that "the problem lies not with the
majority of front-line agents who serve our country, but with the FBI's politicized bureaucracy."
House
Republicans Release Extensive Report Detailing FBI Politicization. House Republicans on the Judiciary
Committee released a 1,000-page report on Friday outlining how the FBI and Justice Department have abandoned their
commitment to political neutrality in recent years. The report, which relies heavily on whistleblower accounts, is
set to serve as a roadmap for the oversight investigation into the politicization of federal law enforcement that
Republicans will undertake should they reclaim a House majority in next week's midterm elections. The probe will
be led by Representative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), who is expected to become chairman of the Judiciary Committee if
Republicans take the House. "The Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the stewardship of Director Christopher
Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, is broken," the GOP report states. "The problem lies not with the
majority of front-line agents who serve our country, but with the FBI's politicized bureaucracy."
The
FBI's Gestapo Tactics: Hallmarks Of An Authoritarian Regime. With every passing day, the United States
government borrows yet another leaf from Nazi Germany's playbook: Secret police. Secret courts. Secret
government agencies. Surveillance. Censorship. Intimidation. Harassment. Torture.
Brutality. Widespread corruption. Entrapment. Indoctrination. Indefinite detention. These
are not tactics used by constitutional republics, where the rule of law and the rights of the citizenry reign
supreme. Rather, they are the hallmarks of authoritarian regimes, where secret police control the populace through
intimidation, fear and official lawlessness on the part of government agents.
What
should become of the FBI? Current polls show a growing mistrust of the FBI among nearly half of America
due to a spate of investigative activities that appear politically one-sided. [...] While the hyperbole is not helpful,
the public's frustration is certainly understandable following disclosures by special counsel John Durham of abuses
stemming from the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, the shocking search of a former Republican president's home over a
document dispute, the highly tactical home arrests of pro-life protesters and other conservatives, and the unjustified
early morning search of journalists' homes for the politically embarrassing diary of President Biden's
daughter — to name just a few. [...] Keep in mind that 99 percent of the FBI had no involvement in any
of the troubling investigations and actions listed above. The majority go about their daily business working the
kinds of cases we would want them to. If whistleblower and other anecdotal reporting is to be believed, there is
significant concern among current and retired FBI agents that some in the bureau are unduly cooperating with abusive
Department of Justice (DOJ) political agendas.
FBI
Reportedly Assisted Ottawa Police During Crackdown On Freedom Convoy Protesters. Confidential minutes from
a meeting of the Ottawa Police show that the FBI was providing support to the Canadian police during the trucker convoy
protests opposing vaccine mandates. The minutes do not specify what support the FBI was providing to the Canadian
police, though it is implied that they were providing financial and intelligence-related support. The minutes also
indicate that the Ottawa police were receiving assistance from Canada's top spy agency, the Canadian Security
Intelligence Service (CSIS). It is possible that the FBI was investigating US citizens who donated to the trucker
convoy movement via GiveSendGo, as hundreds of Americans allegedly donated to the convoy via the platform.
Canadian police used heavy-handed measures against Freedom Convoy protesters. The matter was made worse after
confidential text messages between police officers depicted them bragging about inflicting physical harm on the
protesters.
Leaked
FBI document lists "misinformation" as an "election crime". A whistleblower leaked a document to Project
Veritas showing that the FBI is focusing on election misinformation ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. The
document lists what the agency should categorize as "election crimes." Among the election crimes highlighted in the
documents is "misinformation." The document defines misinformation as "false or misleading information spread mistakenly
or unintentionally." Disinformation is also an election "crime," and is defined as "false or inaccurate information
intended to mislead others." It adds: "Disinformation campaigns on social media are used to deliberately confuse,
trick, or upset the public." The document appears to be another effort by the federal government to determine what
is true and what is false.
The
FBI Raid and Disappearance of Journalist James Gordon Meek Should Chill You to the Bone. James Gordon Meek
is an Emmy Award-winning journalist who worked as a correspondent and producer for ABC News. [...] The government's
record of disgrace continues, once again, straight from the Department of Justice. On April 27, 2022, the FBI
raided Meek's home and leaked the information that Meek had classified information on his laptop, which precipitated the
need to conduct the raid. Purportedly, the warrant and the reasons behind the raid should be under seal; but such
is the nature of this FBI. I am nowhere near the investigative journalist that Meek is, but the last thing I would
think of doing is leaving sensitive information on my laptop. That's Investigative Journalism 101. If anything,
you bury several copies someplace non-digital and non-traceable. These days, my dog's bed is safer than a safe
deposit box. I seriously doubt a savvy professional like Meek made such a grave error in judgment. But,
there are lots of things being manufactured by the government these days — none of them good.
No
longer a 'two-tiered' system, there is no justice in America. Now it is easy to see why people have come
to believe that the once-vaunted justice system in the US became two-tiered; one for favored elites and one for those
the elites loathe. There are countless examples of this: peaceful pro-life demonstrators have been raided and
charged with serious crimes that they did not commit, while those who fire-bomb pregnancy centers are not even
investigated, let alone charged. Among the hundreds of violent protesters who burned their own cities down in the
wake of the George Floyd debacle, few were charged with the crimes they committed and most of those that were had the
charges dropped. [...] Now we must face the fact that there is actually no justice to be had in America in 2022.
Trump Derangement Syndrome has led inexorably to what we now see occurring daily in our once great nation: The
proven guilty go free and the innocent have their homes raided by a pack of armed FBI agents who seem to delight in
traumatizing law-abiding citizens.
Eight
things that killed the Democrat Party. [#3] Corruption in the FBI: The malicious and ethics-free raid on
Mar-a-Lago is viewed even by many Democrats and all Republicans as vicious political intimidation, with the goal of
destroying any followers of Donald Trump. This began in earnest during the "Russia collusion" case and saw its
culmination in midnight raids of innocent conservatives revealing a hateful, vengeful vigilantism on the part of the
radical left. In the hope that supporters of Trump and other conservative candidates would drop out of politics in
fear of similar reprisals, these Gestapo tactics have not only solidified Trump's support and the support of even
moderately conservative candidates, but have shown the Left to be petty children in a deranged, red-haze temper tantrum.
The FBI's Million-Dollar
Men. Proceedings underway in three U.S. courtrooms are providing a coordinated view into the abuse of the
FBI's confidential human source (CHS) program, a cash-flush operation now primarily used to bolster Democratic Party
narratives instead of detecting and preventing crime. As I've reported, the FBI spends an average of $42 million
per year to pay informants and does so with absolutely no financial or legal accountability. Confidential human
sources are paid in cash; they can offer their services for a variety of reasons including financial need or to obtain a
change in immigration status. FBI agents are required to keep at least one informant on the books, an FBI
whistleblower told me; successfully using a CHS to bust up a crime is one way to get promoted.
It's
now very clear FBI leaders went 'crazy' to protect Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden. [Quoting Newt Gingrich:]
I don't know what will happen in a jury trial like that, but I think it's very clear from the evidence that's been
unearthed that the FBI at the very top had gone crazy. They were doing things that I mean, how can you go out and
actively try to undermine the President of the United States the way they did? Just as they went out to protect
Hillary Clinton and they've gone out to protect Hunter Biden. This is the most corrupt FBI leadership in American
history. And there's going to have to be a commission or something to look at it, and potentially it's going to
have to be broken up into two or three different agencies. This is really serious stuff because these guys have
the power to put you in jail. So it's not politics. This is the criminal justice system and it was clearly
perverted by the last two FBI directors.
Christopher
Wray certainly seems to be enjoying the FBI's private jet. FBI Director Christopher Wray certainly gets
around. [...] But then again, he's in charge of the nation's largest federal law enforcement agency, so I'm sure he's
got a lot on his plate. The question surrounding his activities this week, however, has less to do with how often
he travels than it does with how he travels. It seems that Wray has been making very liberal use of the
FBI's private jet when he needs to get away from the Beltway. On at least one occasion he used it to head to his
family's vacation home in the Adirondack Mountains. And another series of trips to the Atlanta area is also under
scrutiny. The problem is that Congress never authorized that jet for personal use. It's only supposed to be
used for counterterrorism purposes.
Director
Christopher Wray's use of FBI jet amounts to 'embezzlement,' current, ex-agents allege. Former and current
FBI agents are fuming about Director Christopher Wray's use of the FBI's private jet, which originally was intended by
Congress only to be used for counterterrorism purposes. A lot of other Americans would like to know why Wray cut
short a Senate oversight hearing on Aug. 4 to fly in the FBI jet to his family holiday destination in the Adirondacks,
after telling Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that he had "business" to attend to. Republican members of
Congress sent a formal letter to Wray on Aug. 15 asking whether the flight was in "compliance with the applicable
federal regulations and requirements" and whether he is "properly reimbursing federal taxpayers for your personal travel
aboard government aircraft." The FBI's Gulfstream G550 doesn't appear to have visited Saranac Lake again since The
Post first reported on that trip, and two other flights on June 2 and June 5, 2022.
The
Democrat Party Is Crumbling. [Scroll down] Let's take a look at what was and what is,
and how the truth is oozing out and killing the Democrats: [...] The FBI was America's foremost law enforcement
agency. Today, everyone sees that they have become the Democrats' KGB. The FBI decided to bury Hunter's laptop,
full of slimy business dealings and amateur porn, and instead focus again on taking down Donald Trump. They are
now arresting pro-lifers for non-federal crimes. Everyone sees the swamp in action.
FBI
Ignores Court Order To Hand Over Evidence About Seth Rich. The FBI is ignoring a court order directing the
bureau to hand over records relating to murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich's laptop. This week, the Biden
administration asked for more time to respond to U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant's September 22, 2022 order telling the
FBI to release the evidence. The bureau is also withholding three reports produced by CrowdStrike in 2016
regarding the alleged hack of the DNC servers. Lawflog.com reports: First the laptop. The FBI wants two more
weeks so it can prepare a motion for reconsideration. As a courtesy, we have not objected to the request.
According to the government's motion, "the FBI is uncertain how to comply with the Court's order as written, and the FBI
is seeking input from a pending appellate consultation regarding the order to properly address this issue."
The
FBI framed Trump and saved Hunter Biden: it's time to clean house, for good. Denial is no longer possible:
FBI headquarters not only pumped up the Russiagate scandal knowing none of the "evidence" held up, it then
turned around to help deep-six actual evidence of Hunter Biden crimes that tainted now-President Joe Biden ahead of the
2020 election. The latest revelations come from special counsel John Durham's prosecution of "Steele dossier"
gofer Igor Danchenko. Specifically, disgraced FBI analyst Brian Auten testified that the FBI dangled $1 million
for Christopher Steele to verify at least part of his package of allegations against President Donald
Trump — all of which, we now know, came from Danchenko's water-cooler gossip with pals in DC.
That is, the FBI was on a Hail Mary quest to verify the dossier even as it was touting the specious material as evidence
of Trump's Moscow misdeeds, including getting a national security court OK to surveil ex-Trumpie Carter Page. The
FBI and Justice Department were lying in sworn documents shared with the court and other federal agencies.
Can the FBI's Reputation
Sink Any Lower? This week Department of Justice (DOJ) Special Counsel John Durham will begin presenting
evidence in the trial of Igor Danchenko, the serial liar whom the FBI used as its "source" to justify spying on the
Trump campaign. Durham has already made a bombshell disclosure that the FBI secretly put Danchenko on the bureau's
payroll despite knowing that the information he fed them was fabricated. There is much speculation that more
evidence of the bureau's misconduct will be revealed as the Danchenko trial unfolds. Danchenko was the principal
"source" for bogus tales about former President Donald Trump, including the infamous (and fictional) pee tape.
Danchenko's lurid fiction was the centerpiece of the discredited Steele dossier. The dossier was not verified
intelligence; rather, it was a political hit job compiled by the Clinton campaign and paid for by the Democratic
National Committee. Yet, then-FBI Director James Comey and his "Crossfire Hurricane" team were so eager find a way
to spy on the Trump campaign that they applied for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants without even
checking to verify Danchenko's outlandish claims.
FBI
whistleblowers: Hundreds of agents have resigned to escape sexual misconduct allegations. A top Republican
senator revealed whistleblower allegations and internal Justice Department records showing that, in an effort to avoid
being held accountable, hundreds of employees at the FBI either resigned or retired from the bureau after being accused
of sexual misconduct. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) made his findings public in a Thursday letter to Attorney
General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray, stating that the allegations and records "paint a disgraceful
picture of abuse that women within the FBI have had to live with" for years. "Lawful, protected whistleblower
disclosures provided to my office include allegations and records that show hundreds of FBI employees have retired or
resigned because of sexual misconduct allegations against them and that they did so in order to avoid accountability,"
Grassley said. "This abuse and misconduct is outrageous and beyond unacceptable."
It's
time to strip down the FBI to bare bones. Our Founders feared the presence of a standing army in our
streets, but they never envisioned that one day we'd have an even more powerful force than an army deployed
domestically. Rather than calling it a military, we simply call it the FBI. But make no mistake, the bureau
has more authority, firepower, resources, and surveillance than any military James Madison could have envisioned.
Such amassed power would be frightening enough in the hands of good people, but now that we know the FBI is full of
neo-Marxists directing operations against patriot Americans, how is dismantling of the FBI not the biggest priority of
Republicans? "The FBI has been collapsed into nothing more than a police agency for the Democratic Party," said
Terry Turchie, the retired former head of counterterrorism and front-line agent of almost 30 years, in an exclusive
interview with the New York Post. "Many of us feel that over the decades [we have seen] the complete compromise of
the bureau." He was one of 30 retired agents who came to the defense of whistleblower Stephen Friend, who is
accusing the FBI of essentially becoming the enforcement arm of the Democrat Party. That would be dangerous for
even a non-weaponized agency of the government, but for the FBI, which is armed to the teeth with tactics, technology,
manpower, and weapons, it is an existential threat to our liberties the likes of which we've never faced before.
FBI
insiders say agents who took a knee during BLM protests were rewarded. The politicization of the FBI is
being implemented by the promotion of liberal agents into positions of authority and the punishment or dismissal of
agents who support conservative causes, FBI insiders told The Washington Times. They said this institutionalizes a
liberal bias in the upper ranks of the nation's premier law enforcement agency. In one high-profile example, an
FBI agent on duty demonstrated solidarity with Black Lives Matter marchers in Washington by "taking a knee" as the
protesters passed. The agent was rewarded with a promotion to a supervisor rank. The BLM march in Washington
in 2020 was part of protests and riots that swept the country in response to the police killing of George Floyd in
Minneapolis. Some law enforcement officers began kneeling with BLM protesters in Austin, Texas; Portland, Oregon;
Los Angeles; Coral Gables, Florida; Buffalo, New York; and elsewhere. Among six on-duty agents in full FBI gear
who "took a knee" for BLM protesters in Washington was a female agent who later was promoted to the No. 2 supervisory
post at the Washington field office.
30
ex-FBI agents stand up to support whistleblower who exposed agency's political bias. Thirty former FBI
agents, including a retired deputy assistant director, head of counterterrorism and five SWAT team members, have spoken
out publicly in support of suspended FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend. Their heartfelt messages, obtained
exclusively by The [New York] Post, show a deep and widespread anguish about the politicization of the FBI. "It's
time to stop the FBI from being the enforcer of a political party's ideology," says Ernie Tibaldi, a retired agent from
San Francisco. "We need to re-establish the FBI as the apolitical and independent law enforcement entity that it always
was." He expressed gratitude to Friend "for having the courage to stand up to the corruption that has taken over
the leadership of the FBI." Many former agents hailed Friend, a SWAT team member in Florida, as a "hero" after he
was punished for refusing to participate in what he regarded as unnecessarily heavy-handed SWAT raids over Jan. 6 misdemeanors.
Court
Filing Reveals Mike Lindell Is Target Of DOJ Investigation. Just over a week ago, MyPillow CEO Mike
Lindell's Minnesota duck-hunting getaway was abruptly interrupted when a team of FBI agents rolled up to a Hardee's
parking lot and surrounded him in the drive-thru line as if he was an ordinary fugitive and seized his mobile
phone. The incident sparked intense backlash online, with many remarking that the FBI is — once
again — being used as a political weapon. As a result of the cell phone seizure debacle, soon after,
Lindell announced a lawsuit against President Joe Biden's DOJ and the FBI, challenging the seizure and insisting that
his "First, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments" were violated. Lindell, in his lawsuit, claimed that he was
denied the chance to contact his attorney and said he feared "for his and his friend's lives" as the federal agents
trapped them in the drive-thru. Lindell listed U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher
Wray as defendants in the lawsuit.
FBI
hero paying the price for exposing unjust 'persecution' of conservative Americans. Bombshell allegations
by FBI Special Agent Steve Friend contained in a whistleblower complaint filed late Wednesday with the Department of
Justice inspector general reveal a politicized Washington, DC, FBI field office cooking the books to exaggerate the
threat of domestic terrorism, and using an "overzealous" January 6 investigation to harass conservative Americans and
violate their constitutional rights. Friend, 37, a respected 12-year veteran of the FBI and a SWAT team member,
was suspended Monday, stripped of his gun and badge, and escorted out of the FBI field office in Daytona Beach, Fla.,
after complaining to his supervisors about the violations. He was declared absent without leave last month for
refusing to participate in SWAT raids that he believed violated FBI policy and were a use of excessive force against
Jan. 6 subjects accused of misdemeanor offenses. This American hero, the father of two small children, has blown
up his "dream career" because he could not live with his conscience if he continued to be part of what he sees as the
unjust persecution of conservative Americans.
The
DOJ and FBI are beyond fixing. Republicans and conservatives like to say that we must reform the Justice
Department and FBI. I disagree. If we win the majority in Congress, they both need to be gone. That means
completely gone, with no attempt to reform or rebuild them. That may sound like an overreach but the time to
restore our constitutional republic is upon us. Do any of us really believe that we are somehow safer or more
secure with an intact DOJ and FBI? They are irredeemably corrupt. Weeding out some of the more sinister miscreants
within those organizations will not change the culture that has evolved over the past few decades. We have already
tried that, and it made matters worse. We should thank Barack Obama and Joe Biden for clearly illustrating to the
American people the dangers inherent in an enforcement arm of the federal government. We are now living in a
police state that will, through intimidation and force, move the country toward one-party rule and totalitarianism.
The
FBI may have just made the best case for dismantling itself. I can't imagine there are really that
many Americans left — outside of the FBI — who actually believe the agency is impartial, reverent
to blind justice, or even adherent to the limits of their own stated mission, which is to "Protect the American people
and uphold the Constitution of the United States[.]" At this point, those notions would be laughable,
especially after what we saw happen at Mar-a-Lago. To add to all of that, Tucker Carlson recently covered some
highly disturbing allegations, from what we're being told, is an FBI whistleblower. [Video clip]
Sources
claim the FBI is manufacturing White supremacists to please Biden. The Washington Times broke a story on
Thursday that deserves much more attention than it got: According to both current and former rank-and-file FBI agents,
Joe Biden is so desperate to prove that White supremacists are a huge threat to America that he's been pressuring agents
to make up cases (something that may explain the FBI-inspired Gretchen Whitmer "kidnap plot" in Michigan). The
whistleblowers are anonymous, so this story is still an allegation, but it's certainly consistent with the administration's
racial obsessions, the dearth of actual White supremacists, and the endless list of leftist hoaxes to offset that dearth.
Biden
Reportedly Pressuring FBI to 'Cook Up' White Supremacy Cases. The Biden administration has asserted one of
the top security threats facing the nation comes from domestic extremists. Supporting such a claim, however,
requires cases, but rank-and-file FBI agents are saying the threat is way overblown. According to The Washington
Times, current and former FBI agents say the bureau is getting pressured to come up with domestic terror cases and find
white supremacists in order to meet internal quotas. "The demand for White supremacy" coming from FBI headquarters
"vastly outstrips the supply of White supremacy," said one agent, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "We have more
people assigned to investigate White supremacists than we can actually find." The claim comes as President Biden hosted
a United We Stand summit at the White House on Thursday where he announced a new initiative on "hate-motivated violence."
Former
FBI Investigator Under Scrutiny for Ties to Russian Oligarch. Charles McGonigal, the former head of
counterintelligence at the FBI field office in New York City who was involved in the investigation into the Trump
campaign's contacts with Russia during the 2016 election, has fallen under the scrutiny of a grand jury convened by U.S.
attorneys late last year for his own ties with Russia and other foreign governments, reports Insider. The grand
jury is reportedly investigating McGonigal's business dealings with a top aide to Oleg Deripaska, the billionaire
Russian oligarch who was at the center of allegations that Russia colluded with the Trump campaign, according to a
recently obtained witness subpoena. Prosecutors are also looking into whether McGonigal has ties to the government
of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as any "payments or gifts" he was provided by the governments of Kosovo, Montenegro,
and Albania. It is not clear whether McGonigal is a target of the grand-jury investigation, or simply a subject
whose activities are somehow related to it. Failing to disclose activities covered by the Foreign Agents
Registration Act, such as lobbying and public relations, is punishable by a $250,000 fine and up to five years in prison.
Federal Bureau Investigated.
On August 8, for the first time in U.S. history, the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided the residence of a former
president, Donald J. Trump. That home invasion invites another first for America: a sudden and thorough search
of FBI headquarters, with bureau bosses and their lawyers barred from the premises and from contact with anyone
inside. Under these conditions, a crack team of independent investigators, deploying the latest forensic and
high-tech tools, could be turned loose on all FBI files and records. The first thing this team might uncover is
recent FBI action in a high-profile whistleblower case. Back on February 21, 2020, Philip Haney, author of See
Something Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad was "found deceased"
in Amador County, California, killed by a gunshot to the chest. Despite rumors, Haney's death was not a
suicide. The Amador sheriff, "reached out to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to assist in analyzing documents,
phone records, numerous thumb drives and a lap top that were recovered from the scene and Mr. Haney's RV.
Those items and numerous other pieces of evidence, were turned over to the FBI. The FBI has performed a forensic
examination of these items. We expect to receive these reports within the next few weeks." More than two
years later, there is no news on Haney's thumb drives, documents and laptop in FBI custody.
The
FBI's Apex Bureaucracy Is Dangerous. We have many grand American traditions. The FBI is not one of
them. Neither the Constitution nor American history supports the existence of a quasi-independent national
security force unconscionably vested with such broad authority to engage in domestic espionage, counterintelligence, and
criminal enforcement as to render it omnisciently powerful. That Congress and successive presidential
administrations for the last century have allowed an institution possessing such supremacy over citizens to exist at all
undermines the U.S. Constitution's principal guarantees against abusive government. Even if it were led by and
staffed with Americans of the highest moral character, its presence in a free nation would remain an abomination.
Whatever the FBI's past successes, it poses entirely too much of a threat to both Americans' liberty and
security. Given its highly political and suspect activities during the last decade and longer, those threats are
no longer theoretical. Without the FBI wasting law enforcement resources pursuing politically explosive yet highly
questionable arrests near every election season, perhaps crime rates would actually drop. Certainly Chris Wray's
agents would no longer need to organize fake kidnapping attempts or set up fake terrorist attacks as part of the
FIBbers' relentless efforts to inflate their own "domestic extremism" numbers! Without a doubt, many parents attending
local school board meetings and conservative political protesters exercising constitutional rights would sleep better
knowing that the strong-arm of the lawless won't be breaking down their doors in the middle of the night under the color
of legal authority!
Smells
Like Cover-up: Garland Tries to Shut Down DOJ Employees Talking to Congress. We've
been seeing a lot of FBI folks coming forward to blow the whistle on the politicization of the
bureau, including accusations that they've been biased in shutting down lines of investigation
against Hunter Biden and biased in opening them up regarding President Donald Trump. We saw
that one person accused of bias by the whistleblowers has now been shown the door —
Timothy Thibault, who was allegedly involved at different points both in investigations against
Trump and Hunter Biden.
FBI
Agents Now Calling for Wray to Resign, Things Are 'out of Control'. We've seen FBI
whistleblowers flooding members of Congress with allegations of politicization, bias, and
misconduct including investigations regarding Hunter Biden and President Donald Trump. That
must have been making Democrats nervous with what was being revealed. Attorney General
Merrick Garland sent out a letter to Justice Department employees telling them they shouldn't be
talking to Congress, although he claimed in the letter that whistleblowers were not impeded by his
letter. Sure, then why are you sending out such a letter at this time? It practically
screams cover-up and that he's trying to shut down people talking. But if he thought that
would stop things, it doesn't sound like that's going to work. FBI agents are now talking
through Kurt Siuzdak, who represents whistleblowers at the Bureau, and he says that they are
telling him that Wray has lost control and should resign.
Tucker
Carlson Outlines Dramatic Timeline of Political Corruption Within the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. What Tucker Carlson outlined on his broadcast tonight is not a
surprise to anyone here; however, it is good to see the direct accusations presented to millions of
Americans. The FBI is a corrupt politically motivated institution from top to bottom.
[Video clip] [...] The FBI knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen)
and were tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino
Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev
brothers) tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter
(Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in
advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa. The FBI took no action. The
case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil was in Garland, Texas in 2015. The FBI
not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, BUT the FBI ALSO took the
shooters to the venue and were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire.
Yes, you read that correctly — the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold.
FBI
agents behind controversial Hunter Biden briefing in 2020 [have been] ordered to
talk. Two top Senate Republicans want to interview the FBI officials behind a
controversial summer 2020 FBI briefing on Russia. Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron
Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to the two FBI employees on Thursday, alleging the August 2020
briefing was "unnecessary and was only done because of pressure from our Democratic colleagues,
including Democratic Leadership, to falsely attack our Biden investigation as advancing Russian
disinformation." The senators named Nikki Floris, the intelligence analyst in charge of the
FBI Washington Field Office's intelligence division, and Bradley Benavides, the deputy assistant
director of the FBI Washington Field Office's counterintelligence division, as being the officials
who provided the Russia-related briefing on Aug. 6, 2020. The senators want the duo to appear
for a transcribed interview in September.
America
Was a Better Place When the FBI Didn't Rig Elections. Well over a year ago, I wrote
in the Briefing that Donald Trump's biggest failure was not doing a thorough housecleaning at the
FBI. No doubt Trump agrees with me, given all that has been going on lately. Yesterday's
news revealed a double-whammy that added more clarity to just how heavy the Bureau's thumb was on
the 2020 presidential election scale, and all of it has to do with Joe Biden's sleazebag progeny,
Hunter. It appears that the FBI was working overtime to make sure voters didn't have
information about Hunter Biden's cocaine-and-hookers criminal antics.
Zuckerberg
Revelation Shows FBI Interfered for Biden in 2020 Election. Surprise, surprise.
It wasn't the social media platforms alone that censored the Hunter Biden laptop story before the
election. No, the FBI asked Facebook to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story before
the 2020 election, calling it Russian disinformation. Indeed, FBI investigators knew the
laptop and its disgusting contents were all too real because they'd held possession of the laptop
since 2019. The laptop contained the disgusting details of Hunter's sex and drug life, business
dealings, and evidence of big paydays from Ukraine and China — all of which
presented a national security risk to the U.S. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told podcaster
Joe Rogan on Thursday that the FBI put Facebook "on high alert" to, wink, censor the Biden laptop
story, wink, before the 2020 election.
Do
you really think our DC overlords will change? The Federal Bureau of Investigation
and the Department of Justice are creations of the Executive Branch. They are subservient to
the Executive and derive their authority from the Executive. It is the Executive that
determines what is and what is not classified material. It really goes to show who these
people think they are: government arbiters. How is it that the regime is brazen enough to
pull these shenanigans? The answer is that nobody has ever been held to account, and as a
result, the regime will continue to protect itself and further itself with impunity. When
Hillary Clinton destroyed subpoenaed emails and the FBI unilaterally determined that there was no
reason to prosecute based on intent, did she get her door kicked in? When the Clinton
campaign, in conjunction with the FBI and the State Department, fabricated evidence and presented
it to the courts as verifiable proof of a Russian-compromised Executive, was anyone held to
account? When the Democrats' first and second Trump impeachment committees openly doctored
video and photographic evidence to sell their impeachment schemes to the public, did the press call
them on it?
From
Civil Compromise to Partisan Persecution. [Scroll down] The raid on Mar-a-Lago was such an event.
With this disgraceful stunt, the FBI has in effect openly acknowledged that it is little more than a political police force
willingly placed in the service of the Democratic Party with its most prominent, public-facing role being to shelter and
protect the Democratic Party's own well-connected and highly-placed criminals while criminalizing and persecuting its
political opponents, right down to falsely framing and entrapping them when necessary. If it isn't eventually
dismantled entirely, perhaps the FBI should be renamed the FBCF — Federal Bureau of Custom Framing. The FBI
has lost the public trust and is undeserving of the benefit of the doubt. Its partisan alignments are obvious.
The FBI has proven incapable of taking any interest in the innumerable crimes of Antifa and BLM, yet simply cannot refrain
from issuing dire warnings against unruly parents who dare to oppose mandated racist indoctrination at school board
meetings. The FBI simply cannot be bothered to address the ongoing organized intimidation of Supreme Court justices by
leftist thugs, yet shows no hesitation in branding patriotic imagery as a sign of probable alignment with domestic terrorism.

FBI Whistleblowers (and Counting) Can't Be Wrong: There's a Problem at the Bureau. Rep. Jim Jordan
(R-Ohio) revealed that FBI whistleblowers are popping up like pimples on prom night. "Fourteen FBI agents have come to
our office as whistleblowers, and they are good people," Jordan revealed to Fox News. "There are lots of good people in
the FBI. It's the top that is the problem." "Some of these good agents are coming to us, telling us what's going on,
the political nature now of the Justice Department, talking about the school board issue, about a whole host of issues,"
Jordan continued. [Tweet]

FBI Whistleblowers Have Come Forward: Rep. Jordan. Fourteen FBI whistleblowers have come forward to
provide information to Republican congressional investigations, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said on Aug. 14, about a week
after the FBI raided former President Donald Trump's Florida home. "Fourteen FBI agents have come to our office as
whistleblowers, and they are good people," Jordan told Fox News. "There are lots of good people in the FBI. It's the
top that is the problem." "Some of these good agents are coming to us, telling us ... what's going on — the
political nature now of the Justice Department ... talking about the school board issue, about a whole host of issues," he
added. Two months ago, Jordan said that six FBI whistleblowers approached the committee. Two came forward in
relation to a school board memo and four in connection to the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
Jim
Jordan says 14 FBI whistleblowers have come forward. More than a dozen FBI whistleblowers have come forward to
Republican investigators in Congress, according to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). The congressman, who is the ranking
member of the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News host Trey Gowdy the number has risen to 14 after the FBI raid at
Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. During a conversation about alleged politicization at the Justice Department, along with
former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, Jordan made the case that the public has "figured it out" when it
comes to what he characterized as the Left generating a lie, the "Big Media" reporting the lie, Big Tech amplifying the lie,
and then both piling on Republicans when they catch on and say something. He said there are agents in the bureau who
have realized the same.
The Editor says...
Fourteen whistleblowers is more than nothing, considering the FBI people are known for their silence.
But the other 34,986 FBI employees are content to play along with everything the Bureau does.

Things The Feds Probably Planted In The Boxes They Took From Trump's House. Nine-and-a-half hours of secret
snooping, 15 evidence boxes, and a jaunt through the former first lady's closet later, it's unclear what exactly FBI agents
were looking for and ultimately recovered during their raid of former President Donald Trump's home in Florida. Given
the bureau's long track record of malfeasance, however — concocting an elaborate Russia collusion hoax, branding
conservative parents as domestic terrorists, labeling anodyne right-wing symbols as extremist dog whistles, entrapping
Americans in plots to kidnap radical governors, concluding a stand-off by murdering dozens of children, rigging an election
by hiding information that harmed their preferred candidate, and egging on protesters and rioters before branding them as
insurrectionists, just to name a few — it isn't too hard to imagine that some of the things the FBI recovered from
Mar-a-Lago weren't recovered at all, but planted.
Defund The FBI!.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, once so popular it had its own TV show solely dedicated to its heroics, has become a
hyper-politicized, jackbooted bully that no longer serves the American people or the U.S. Constitution, which its employees
are sworn to protect. It has become, instead, the intelligence arm and domestic enforcer of the far left. Did we
say defund? Yes. But we don't mean simply to cut its funding, as leftists have disastrously proposed for police
forces across the country. We mean tear down the entire rotting edifice of the FBI and replacing it with a new agency
that respects the Constitution and holds itself accountable to all Americans, not just the woke far left.
The Editor says...
[#1] The Congress can't even defund Sesame Street, after decades of threatening to do so. The FBI would put up
a fight (far greater than PBS would) if any defunding effort gets underway. [#2] The FBI collects and stores
information that can be used later against people. That's what they do. Does anyone think they only investigate
criminals? This writer and many others believe the FBI and the CIA have the dirt, if any exists, on every member of
Congress. That's why the Congress doesn't threaten the FBI.
The
FBI raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home highlights the alarming double standard that gives Dems a pass. "We believe
in the rule of law. That's what our country is about, and no person is above the law," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told
"Today" show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie during a TV interview Tuesday [8/9/2022] in an attempt to justify the unprecedented
FBI raid of former President Donald Trump's Palm Beach home. [...] And what about all the dirty cops at the highest echelons
of the FBI and Department of Justice involved in the debunked "Russia Collusion" hoax — the fabricated, five-alarm
conspiracy theory predicated on bogus opposition research used to try to stop Trump from being elected in 2016? When that
failed, the FBI launched politically charged investigations to derail the Trump administration. The "Get Trump" cabal
at the FBI/DOJ misled the FISA court to spy on the Donald Trump's campaign, an FBI lawyer doctored evidence, the devious Deep
State colluded with complicit media in smearing the leader of the Republican Party. Are they above the law?
How
FBI Spy Stefan Halper Helped Put Two Bushes in the White House. Mark Hemingway wrote a fascinating
exposé chronicling the enigmatic life of Stefan Halper, the Cambridge University professor and FBI informant who
attempted to entrap low-level Trump campaign associates with promises that "his friendship with Russian spies" could aid
Trump's efforts to win the presidency. Hemingway notes that although most Americans were unfamiliar with Halper until
details of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane counterintelligence operation against the Republican presidential nominee came to
light, he has been a stubbornly recurring fixture near the intersection of American politics and espionage for fifty years.
Durham-Sussmann
notes battle pulls back curtain on Trump-era FBI. Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI, said
Michael Sussmann met with the bureau in September 2016 on behalf of a client, according to notes from March 2017 made public
by the Democratic cybersecurity lawyer. The briefing notes contradict contemporaneous FBI notes and the defendant's own
text message, though the defense team thinks they could prove decisive in special counsel John Durham's case against
Sussmann. Sussmann was indicted for allegedly concealing his clients, Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign and "Tech
Executive-1" Rodney Joffe, from FBI general counsel James Baker in late summer 2016 when he presented internet data that
suggested a now-discredited back channel between the Trump Organization and Russia's Alfa-Bank.
"There's
a Number of VERY Troubling Things Happening at the FBI": Whistleblower Leaks Documents to Project Veritas. On
Wednesday, Project Veritas released documents provided by an FBI whistleblower showing that the agency is targeting news
media organizations in the US with secret criminal investigations. The unnamed whistleblower, who has been a special
agent for many years and is still employed with the bureau, provided the classified documents to Project Veritas in hopes of
exposing the corruption and politically-motivated targeting that has taken over the FBI.
Report:
FBI Corruption Targets Millions of Americans. The FBI's corruption, even just over the last five years, has
reached levels few imagined. Sure, there's always been a certain amount of distrust of government agencies, and the FBI
itself has a long history of malicious activity going back to its inception. Yet, things truly went to the next level
in the year prior to Donald Trump taking office, and they've only accelerated since then.
Did
a Key FBI Agent in Whitmer Plot Attempt to Surveil Steven Crowder? In 2017, Steven Crowder, a conservative
activist and host of a popular YouTube channel, infiltrated Antifa with his producer. Weeks before a speaking
engagement by Ben Shapiro at the University of Utah — an event Antifa planned to disrupt violently —
Crowder worked his way into the group through the use of burner phones and encrypted chats. Crowder secretly recorded
discussions between Antifa thugs promising to use "plain clothes and hard tactics" to shut down Shapiro's speech on September 28,
2017. This included distributing weapons such as ice picks, combat knives, and guns. Despite a heavy law enforcement
presence for Shapiro's speech, pockets of violence did erupt as Antifa confronted police and Shapiro supporters outside the venue,
resulting in the arrest of a handful of rabble-rousers. Crowder then posted a video account of his undercover operation and
noted a collective lack of interest by major news organizations in Antifa's violent pre-planning efforts.
DOJ
Arrests 3 Individuals on Terrorism Charges Likely Linked to Patriot Front Group — But Others Were Let
Go? After TGP reporting on another likely government-sponsored group — the Patriot
Front — the DOJ stepped into action and arrested three young men for terrorist activities. These three were
joined by others who were not arrested or indicted. Four days ago we reported on three individuals arrested by the FBI
who pleaded guilty to a plot to attack power grids in the US. The FBI shared their arrests in a press release. In the
court filing it is reported that there were a few others who participated in this plan to reportedly take down the US power grid[.]
If
they spied on Trump, they will spy on you. If the revelation earlier this month that Big Tech executives
continued to spy on Donald Trump after the 2016 election and into his presidency was an isolated incident, it would not be a
grave concern. But once you step back and see the pattern of behavior by those in power to spy on and systematically
undermine a democratically elected president, every citizen should be concerned. When the FBI first opened its
investigation into allegations that candidate Trump was coordinating with Russia, the FBI inspector general reported that the
leadership of the FBI "hand-picked" the team that would conduct "one of the most sensitive FBI investigations" in the
agency's history. These were supposed to be agents of the highest character and professionalism.
The
January 6 Pipe Bombs Look Like Another FBI Hoax. In the 15-minute time span before the joint session of
Congress convened at 1:00 p.m. on January 6, 2021, two incidents that set the stage for the day's ensuing chaos happened
simultaneously. First, a man named Ryan Samsel, after taking some sort of direction from Ray Epps, overran a thin line
of police and metal racks in what would be the first official breach of Capitol grounds around 12:50 p.m. (Samsel was charged
and has been incarcerated for more than a year; Epps faces no charges.) Joining Samsel were members of the Proud Boys and a
still-unknown number of FBI informants. Around the same time, a woman named Karlin Younger who just happened to
be walking to a laundry facility near the Republican National Committee headquarters just happened to look down and
see what she believed was a pipe bomb nestled between a dumpster and a fence right next to the building.
Department
of Homeland Security Warns That Domestic Terrorists With Hammers and Power Saws Are Plotting to Destroy the Power
Grid. [The] Department of Homeland Security is a joke. It exists solely as a jobs program for paranoids
specializing in manufacturing [specious] threats while ignoring real ones. [...] According to the FBI toad, domestic violent
extremists have two things in common. They are driven by racial hate... and they are Donald Trump supporters.
These alerts exist for one purpose. They create a patina of proof for the fear-and-smear campaign the Biden junta is
carrying out on its domestic opponents. Relentlessly tying real people and real patriots who are concerned about the
erosion of civil liberties under the illegal and unnecessary Wuhan virus regulations to potential terrorist acts is not only
dishonest, it sets a predicate for treating them like terrorists and incarcerating them for long periods of time without any
real intention of trying them for a crime... sort of like the January 6 political prisoners.
Punishing
a Dem who criticizes border chaos? [Scroll down] What makes this particularly fishy is that it took place
weeks before the primary election, a period when the FBI normally limits overt investigative activity. What makes it
even more fishy — besides the fact that there doesn't appear any conduct by Cuellar warranting personal
involvement in wrong doing — is that he has been critical of President Biden and he's running against a woman whom
he narrowly beat the last time and who is far more to the left than he is — Jessica Cisneros. If my
suspicions are warranted, the FBI and Department of Justice are firing a warning shot at any Democrat in Congress who steps
out of line.
Is
This 'Leaked' Video Real Or Staged? The Khaki-clad Patriot Front group was out protesting again
today — This time at the March for Life in Washington DC. Two weeks ago this mysterious khaki-clad group
showed up at the Chicago March for Life for some reason. [...] In spite of all that there seems to be little media interest
in digging deep to find out what's really going on with this group and who its members are. There is, however, plenty
of interest in videos that purport to show Patriot Front members using Nazi language and gestures. One that is said to
have been leaked is making the rounds. Does this seem staged, or authentic? [Video clip]
The Editor says...
Ask yourself: Who would benefit if it's genuine? Nobody. Who would benefit if it's fake but believable? The Democrats.
A
purported 'Patriot Front' video has all the hallmarks of a false flag. One of the unpleasant realities that
became patently clear during 2021 is that leftist operatives, whether inside or outside of the government, have a new tactic
to discredit conservativism: They pretend to be conservatives, either to entrap conservatives or to falsely expose them
as bad people. The latest example of this kind of fakery is a video that was recently "leaked," and that purports to
show members of the "Patriot Front," an allegedly conservative organization, revealing their true Nazi colors. There's
nothing conservative about the video but there is a distinct whiff of FBI hanging about it. [...] In additional tweets,
Mikael Thalen insists that the video is real because it's part of an entire leaked server. I hate to break this to him,
but that doesn't prove anything at all. If you're going to set up a false front operation, you wouldn't stop with
a single video. As it was, people watching the video couldn't help but notice that it had all the reality of those
"protesters" at the "Justice for J6" rally, an event crawling with FBI agents.
My Time in the Tank.
With Paul Manafort's explosive new book, Political Prisoner, we finally have a full and honest detailed account of how the
U.S. government, the not-so-special Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and particularly the FBI treated anyone and everyone
connected to Donald Trump. The plain truth is they were after him — and would stop at nothing in their quest
of subversion. I would know, because I, too, was in their sights. Detained at Boston's Logan Airport, the FBI
grilled me about the 2016 campaign, specific persons involved, Wikileaks, Roger Stone, Nigel Farage, and Russia. It was
evident that while they had a very thick file on me, and two warrants to confiscate my iPhone and laptop — which
meant they had been surveilling me for some time — they knew I knew nothing of real value. This was an act
of intimidation of a patriotic U.S. citizen, one with a former Top Secret and Codeword security clearance, who had held
senior positions in the government and served informally and without payment on the Trump presidential election campaign.
Second
Democrat, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, Arrested within a Day for Speaking Out Against Joe Biden's Failures. Two
Democrats have been arrested within a day of speaking out against wannabe Dictator Joe Biden. This time black NY
Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman. Bownman was one of the dozen or so leftists Democrats who are staging a hunger strike
outfront of the White House against Joe Biden after Biden once again failed to get a bill Democrats need to pass to steal
elections indefinitely. [Video clip]
FBI
raid jeopardizes Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar's reelection bid. House Republicans are spying a surprise
opportunity to flip another Democratic-held district after the Laredo, Texas, home and campaign office of Texas
Rep. Henry Cuellar were raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Wednesday. Cuellar, 66, a centrist and
frequent target of Republicans and the Left, has been impossible to dislodge since winning a seat in Congress in 2004. But
Cuellar could be unexpectedly vulnerable beginning March 1, when he stands for renomination against a liberal challenger in
the Democratic primary — or this fall, against a Republican, if it turns out the congressman is the target of a
federal investigation and the inquiry extends deep into the election year.
Prominent
Democrat, Publicly Critical of Joe Biden Border Policy, Gets a Visit from FBI Jackboots. The political motives
behind this FBI effort are, yet again, brutally transparent. The FBI are for Joe Biden what the Russian FSB is for
Vladimir Putin. That's what they are. That's all they are. That's what they do. How many dozens of
examples does it take before people realize the FBI are criminal enforcers targeting any voices who rise in opposition to the
DC system? Seriously, when is enough, enough? This should be a bipartisan issue. Democrat Representative
Henry Cuellar represents Texas' 28th Congressional District, which extends to the U.S.- Mexico border, and has been in
Congress since 2005. Cuellar has been very public and very critical of how Joe Biden has collapsed the U.S-Mexico border
enforcement. Suddenly, Cuellar becomes the target of the FBI.
The
FBI goes after a Democrat who opposes Biden's border policies. Ask any Democrat or other leftist whether the
FBI was corrupt under J. Edgar Hoover and he or she will eagerly agree. Hoover, an ardent Republican, not only used the
agency to capture genuine criminals, but he also turned it into a spy agency tracking anyone he thought might be a
communist. Now, though, it appears that the FBI, with help from the DOJ, is going Hoover one better, and using all the
old powers plus modern technology to investigate and arrest people who fail to support the Biden administration. The
FBI's latest target is Texas Representative Henry Cuellar, a Democrat, who spoke out against Biden's illegal acts
erasing America's southern border. It's likely that most Americans, and especially most conservative Americans, had no
idea who Henry Cuellar was before Biden entered the White House. However, things changed when Biden issued a series of
orders that effectively erased the southern border.
Biden's
FBI Gestapo Raid the Home of a Fellow Democrat Days After he Turned on Biden's Border Policies. More than two
dozen FBI agents descended on Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar's Laredo, Texas home on Wednesday, just a day after he spoke
out against Biden's border policy failures. [...] Democrats are quickly realizing that fellow Democrats care less about them
once they're in power and will do absolutely anything to ensure they stay subservient, even if it means having the FBI raid
your house to keep you quiet. [Video clip]
The
FBI's Broken Relationship with Us. All large organizations suffer from the occasional presence of bad
actors. The FBI is no exception. But it managed to retain a good relationship with the public in spite of its
flaws, because it was still solving rather than creating crimes. But something fundamentally changed in the last five
years. The Comey clown car arrived in the center ring and unloaded under the spotlight. As the public watched the
comedy of James "The Cardinal" Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page, searching for phantom Russian colluders
under the bed, while actual Russian colluders cheered them on, we knew we needed to take a closer look. The examination
has been shocking.
Durham's
Investigation: Incriminating Inference in the FBI's Empty Russiagate Predication. The vaporous
predication for the FBI's opening of its "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation of "Russian collusion" is often attributed
solely to anti-Trump bias, with no more to learn from its study. But sustained examination shows it to be not only
pretextual but also designed to conceal American history's most insidious governmental treachery since Benedict Arnold.
According to the FBI, the "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation was opened on July 31, 2016, because lowly Trump aide George
Papadopoulos had been told by one Professor Joseph Mifsud that Russia had emails harmful to Hillary Clinton. Two weeks
later, Australian (FFG) diplomat, British-connected Alexander Downer, pried from Papadopoulos that Russia had dirt on
Hillary, which he repeated in July to an American embassy in London. Because both Mifsud and Downer were Western
intelligence plants, without any knowledge of Russian designs, this was clearly a bootstrapped, circular predication.
That millions of common citizens also suspected Russia had email dirt on Hillary did not seem to dampen FBI ardor.
Treasure
hunters demand answers from FBI about search for civil war-era gold. Treasure hunters who believe they found a
huge cache of fabled US civil war-era gold in Pennsylvania are now on the prowl for something as elusive as the buried booty
itself: government records of the FBI's excavation. Finders Keepers, a lost treasure locate and recovery service, filed
a federal lawsuit against the justice department over its failure to produce documents on the FBI's search for the legendary
gold, which took place nearly four years ago at a remote woodland site in north-western Pennsylvania. Up to 52 gold
bars were said to have been buried in a forest in Pennsylvania during the battle of Gettysburg. "With its request
Plaintiff seeks to confirm the FBI's recovery of Civil War-era gold buried in the mountains of Pennsylvania, based in
significant part on scientific evidence of the gold's existence that Plaintiff provided the FBI," the lawsuit said.
Is
The FBI Ever Going To Get Around To Finding The Jan. 6 Pipe Bomber, Or Nah? One year after a mysterious hooded
figure placed two explosives outside the Republican and Democrat national headquarters, federal investigators, corporate
media, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's Jan. 6 commission are mum about the premeditated act of violence. [...]
Leftists and their cronies in the corporate media have scrambled to pin the violence from last year on former President
Donald Trump and conservatives concerned about election integrity. They claim that Republican officials and Fox News
hosts worked together to plan an "insurrection" against the government. Yet the lone example of a very clearly
premeditated attempt at violence on Jan. 6 has been nearly completely wiped from the memory of the American
public. The pipe bombs discovered at the RNC and DNC aren't mentioned in the press's "remembrance" coverage of the day,
and the federal government has hardly offered any updates on the investigation since releasing footage of the suspect, who
was covered head to toe in dark clothing. Even the Jan. 6 commission, which has gone to great lengths to obtain
the phone records of private citizens, doesn't seem interested in pursuing the person behind the explosives.
They
do not want Ghislaine to sing. In June 2016, the FBI investigated Hillary's sale of state secrets to foreign
governments. Then the FBI destroyed the evidence. At the same time, the FBI lied on FISA applications to spy on
Donald John Trump. Incredibly, the FISA judge denied the request. My understanding is federal judges approve 99%
of these requests for domestic spying. Establishment mocking of "conspiracy theories" is laughable because the
establishment created and promoted the ridiculous Russian Collusion theory that holds that Trump and Putin conspired to fix
the election. Given that the Kremlin was the source for most of the Russian dossier, it is more likely that Hillary and
Obama conspired with Putin. The FBI has a lengthy history of infiltrating organizations. That helped destroy the
KKK, which was a good thing. Curiously, the FBI never infiltrated the Mafia which flourished under J. Edgar
Hoover. In fact, the FBI enabled Whitey Bulger to become the No. 1 mobster in Massachusetts by prosecuting his
rivals. His brother was the Democrat leader of the state Senate.
What
Do We Do with the FBI Now? The events of the past five or six years have demonstrated to America that the FBI
is no longer the unbiased law enforcement agency it once was. Between the Hillary Clinton investigation-in-name-only,
the Crossfire Hurricane hoax, the targeting of Americans as domestic terrorists, and playing three blind mice with the Biden
graft machine, the bureau's issues can't be ignored any longer. If we don't take corrective action soon, the FBI will
finish its transition from law enforcement to being a political functionary advancing the interests of one party. There
are only two options: rehabilitate the FBI, or eliminate it. The current state is unacceptable in a functioning
constitutional republic. We need a credible and competent federal law enforcement capability. Sadly, the FBI has
lost it claim on both those things.
Prosecutors
or Praetorian Guard: Why is FBI investigating one missing diary in a sea of smash and grabs? With smash
and grabs raging across the country, prosecutors have struggled to assure the public that they are cracking down on the crime
wave and using every possible means to deter the organized thefts. One group notably missing in this effort has been
the federal prosecutors. While Attorney General Merrick Garland was criticized for launching a federal task force on
threats against school boards (based on a handful of local cases), he has been largely silent on any federal effort to deal
with this actual crime wave. That is despite the fact that these attacks are organized on social media and experts
think it's likely the stolen items are being sold on the internet. That is all interstate conduct and would allow for
federal enforcement. There is, however, one allegedly stolen item that did bring a full-scale FBI investigation:
the missing diary of Ashley Biden, daughter of President Joe Biden.
How
Did the FBI End Up in This Mess? The fact that the FBI has lost its way has been on public display for at least
five years now. Truth be told, it probably strayed off course way before that. But during the Trump Presidency,
it became too obvious to ignore. It has been involved in everything from the creation of an "insurance policy" against
the peaceful transition of power, to the targeting of parents as domestic terrorists for the sin of disagreeing with school
boards. How did our "premier law enforcement agency" stray so far from its motto of fidelity, bravery, and
integrity? Simply put, the FBI's current state is the result of horrible leadership. Any organization with a
solid culture of ethics can survive a bad leader, but the FBI has had 20+ years of ethically challenged leadership.
Over time that leadership influences hiring, firing, promotions, and training. Given enough time under bad leadership,
even the strongest foundation of ethics will crumble, and be replaced by a culture of corruption — as we've seen
with the FBI[.] A significant shift in the culture of the FBI happened under Robert Mueller. Mueller came up
through the ranks of the DoJ — holding the positions of Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney, and Deputy
Attorney General. He was appointed to lead the FBI, by President George W. Bush, in 2001, just one week prior
to 9/11.
Does
a Law Enforcement Oath Mean Anything Anymore? I had coffee recently with a friend of mine, a retired FBI
agent. We were talking about the mess the FBI has become. He's even more disturbed about the politicization of
the bureau than I am. During our talk he said something very interesting: "Current agents are just keeping their
heads down and following orders." A simple statement with profound implications. [...] Certainly, following lawful orders is
important, but notice that there is nothing mentioned about obedience to leadership. That's because following orders is
between the officers and their leaders. [...] All law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, who are "just following
orders" are missing the point of their oath. They may be bound by agency rules to follow orders, but they are bound by
sacred honor to remain faithful to the American people.
Four
FBI officials hired prostitutes overseas, inspector general says. The Justice Department Office of the
Inspector General on Tuesday said four FBI officials hired prostitutes while on the job. In an investigative summary,
the department watchdog said the officials were on assignment overseas when they "solicited, procured, and accepted
commercial sex" in violation of FBI and Justice Department policies. A fifth official reportedly solicited, but did not
hire, a prostitute. "The OIG investigation further found that five officials failed to report contact or relationships
with foreign nationals, including foreign nationals from whom they procured commercial sex, in violation of FBI policies,"
the summary states.
Fortenberry indictment
raises questions about the FBI's tactics. The Justice Department's prosecution of a Republican lawmaker for
allegedly lying to the FBI is raising thorny issues about the use of surreptitious tactics during investigations into members
of Congress. The false-statement indictment brought against Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska two months ago is
also resurfacing many of the same questions that triggered a firestorm of controversy around the prosecution of former
national security adviser Michael Flynn. Critics say the concerns — about the approval process and threshold
to deploy arguably deceptive investigative tactics — are even more acute in Fortenberry's case because of the role
the Constitution lays out for lawmakers as part of a separate branch of government. "This goes back to the age-old
question. ... What is the separation-of-powers implication of having the FBI and the Justice Department test members for
probity? I just think that's wrong," said Stan Brand, a Washington attorney and former general counsel to the
House. "I think it's a mistake, and I think it's a problem."
Losing
Confidence in the Pillars of Our Civilization. For the first time in memory, conservatives now connect the FBI
hierarchy with bureaucratic bloat, political bias, and even illegality. In the last five years, the FBI was mostly in
the news for the checkered careers of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Robert Mueller, Lisa Page, and Peter Strzok. Add in
the criminality of convicted FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith. The colossal FBI-driven "Russian collusion" hoax was marked
by leaking of confidential FBI memos, forged documents, improper surveillance, and serial disinformation.
Onward Into Darkness.
[Scroll down] Next was the FBI's invasion of Project Veritas chief James O'Keefe's home in a case involving "Joe
Biden's" daughter Ashley Biden's personal diary, which Project Veritas was alleged to be holding, and which supposedly
contained some entries about sketchy father-and-daughter showers together. Bad optics for a floundering president
already suspected of being a bit free with his touch, shall we say, around the little ones (not to mention the florid
pornographic exploits self-documented by son Hunter). Instead of defending Mr. O'Keefe's first amendment rights, the
legacy news media piled on him as "not a real journalist." More to the point, though, within hours of the FBI
confiscating Mr. O'Keefe's cell phones and other devices, Mr. O'Keefe's private communications with his attorneys
turned up in the hands of The New York Times, which published some of the material. Of course, James O'Keefe is
in the middle of a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times. And wasn't it a fortuitous coincidence that the
newspaper came into possession of their adversary's privileged information? The thing is (of course), that the info
could have only been provided to The Times by one possible source: the FBI, investigative arm of the DOJ. Days
later, Judge Analisa Torres from the Southern District of New York ordered the FBI to stop extracting data from the
phones — as if they hadn't already downloaded every last shred and made a zillion copies. Where is the DOJ
Inspector General Michael Horowitz? Where is the DOJ's ethics office? Why has the leaker not been outed and arraigned?
Why
The Left Keeps Talking About Kyle Rittenhouse Crossing A State Line. [Scroll down] Now consider that last
week, ten FBI agents with a battering ram showed up before dawn to handcuff the underwear-clad Project Veritas founder James
O'Keefe and search his house and cell phone, after having done the same to his fellow journalists. The pretext was a
search for Ashley Biden's diary, but the FBI already knew O'Keefe didn't have it or have anything to do with its
disappearance. Besides, since when does a petty-larceny case local police would manage with a stolen-property report
rate a federal investigation? Glenn Greenwald frames it as an undisguised authoritarian tactic meant "to aggressively
target an organization devoted to obtaining and reporting incriminating information about Democratic Party leaders and their
liberal allies." Interestingly, he reports "a cryptic reference in the search warrant to transmitting stolen material
across state lines."
First
Mom Raided By FBI Since October 4th DOJ Memorandum? An FBI SWAT team raided the home of an activist mother of
three in Colorado on Tuesday, Nov. 16, knocking down her door, bursting into the house and handcuffing her while she was
homeschooling her children. This is the first known case of the federal government making good on its promise to not
only intimidate but actually carry out a raid on a mom who was involved in her local school board politics, said Brannon
Howse, who interviewed Sheronna Bishop on his live broadcast at Lindell TV Wednesday night. [...] The U.S. Department of
Justice and Attorney General Merrick Garland issued an Oct. 4 memorandum directing federal, state and local law enforcement
to look for parents to prosecute nationwide who may have made "threats" and made "harassing" phone calls to school board
members nationwide, equating such parents to domestic terrorists. Now a mother, Sheronna Bishop of Grand Junction,
Colorado, has felt the brute force of the FBI's heavily armed SWAT unit used against her family.
Can
the FBI Be Salvaged? The Washington, D.C.-based Federal Bureau of Investigation has lost all credibility as a
disinterested investigatory agency. Now we learn from a whistleblower that the agency was allegedly investigating moms
and dads worried about the teaching of critical race theory in their kids' schools. In truth, since 2015, the FBI has
been constantly in the news — and mostly in a negative and constitutionally disturbing light. The fired
former Director James Comey injected himself into the 2016 political race by constantly editorializing on his ongoing
investigation of candidate Hillary Clinton's email leaks. In a bizarre twist, the public learned later that Comey had
allowed Hillary Clinton's own private computer contractor — CrowdStrike — to run the investigation of
the hack. The private firm was allowed to keep possession of pertinent hard drives central to the investigation.
How odd that CrowdStrike's point man was Shawn Henry, a former high-ranking FBI employee. During the Robert Mueller
special investigation, the FBI implausibly claimed it had no idea how requested information on FBI cell phones had
mysteriously disappeared.
Kyle Rittenhouse,
Project Veritas, and the Inability to Think in Terms of Principles. The FBI has executed a string of search
warrants targeting the homes and cell phones of Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe and several others associated with that
organization. It should require no effort to understand why it is a cause for concern that a Democratic administration
is using the FBI to aggressively target an organization devoted to obtaining and reporting incriminating information about
Democratic Party leaders and their liberal allies. That does not mean the FBI investigation is inherently
improper. Journalists are no more entitled than any other citizen to commit crimes. If there is reasonable cause
to believe O'Keefe and his associates committed federal crimes, then an FBI investigation is warranted as it is for any other
case. But there has been no evidence presented that O'Keefe or Project Veritas employees have done anything of the
sort, nor any explanation provided to justify these invasive searches. That we should want and need that is
self-evident: if the Trump-era FBI had executed search warrants inside the newsrooms of The New York Times and NBC
News, we would be demanding evidence to prove it was legally justified. Yet virtually nothing has been provided to
justify the FBI's targeting of O'Keefe and his colleagues, and the little that has been disclosed by way of justifying this
makes no sense.
FBI's
behavior over Project Veritas investigation questioned. Scrutiny of the FBI's handling of an investigation into
Project Veritas is mounting following the publication of details from documents potentially seized by federal
authorities. The New York Times published an article on Thursday detailing the extent to which operatives from
the controversial right-wing investigative group coordinated with attorneys to ensure they did not flout laws dictating
private recordings and obtaining information from sources using false pretenses. The New York Times cited "a
series of memos written by the group's lawyer" in its article questioning Project Veritas's approach to investigating various
targets, including the FBI itself.
FBI
Email Server Hacked, Emails Sent To Over 100,000 Accounts. The Federal Bureau of Investigation said Saturday
that one of its email servers was hacked and spam emails had been sent to the public. From the FBI's email server,
unauthorized emails were sent to over 100,000 accounts. They were doctored to look like authentic communication from
the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, according to Forbes. The emails warned people that they were being
attacked by the cybercriminal group, The Dark Overlord, and cybersecurity researcher, Vinny Troia, according to Bloomberg.
The breach was discovered by the Spamhaus Project, a cybersecurity watchdog organization. The group sent out a tweet
early on Nov. 13 stating that they were aware of the spam emails.
The
DOJ and FBI have combined to destroy Project Veritas. Project Veritas uses hidden camera techniques to expose
corruption, dishonesty, anarchy, and totalitarian impulses in American institutions. Given the times in which we live,
that means Project Veritas is usually exposing leftists and their organizations. It's almost certainly not a
coincidence, then, that the FBI engaged in a series of early-morning raids against Project Veritas employees and its founder,
James O'Keefe, ostensibly because, a year ago, they possessed, but refused to use (and gave to law enforcement), a diary that
we now know belonged to Joe Biden's pathetic, drug-addicted daughter, Ashley. It's even less of a coincidence that the
New York Times immediately knew about the raids and later published Project Veritas's confidential correspondence with its
attorneys. What we're witnessing is a political hit job that would be completely at home in any penny-ante,
third-world, tin pot tyranny — in other words, welcome to Biden's America.
Court
Halts DOJ Extraction of James O'Keefe's Smartphone Data. A federal judge Thursday [11/11/2021] ordered the U.S.
Department of Justice to stop the extraction of data from Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe's smartphone, pending a court
hearing on the appointment of a "special master" to oversee the extraction. [...] The DOJ has O'Keefe's phone and other data
following an FBI raid earlier this month of O'Keefe's New York home, ostensibly looking for information related to the
alleged theft of a diary belonging to Ashley Biden, President Joe Biden's daughter. O'Keefe said at the time that
Project Veritas was provided with the diary by another source, but decided not to use any of the information contained
therein, and contacted law enforcement. It is unclear why the FBI conducted the raid, and critics have pointed out that
the government's actions could also be an attempt to suppress an opposition-minded journalist.
The FBI raided Project Veritas
on a pretext and is now leaking their privileged communications to the New York Times. [Thread reader] These
are classic privileged communications[.] PV asked for a legal opinion on potential journalistic activities, that opinion
is a privileged communication[.] No idea what @adamgoldmanNYT was thinking here, he should be subpoenaed tomorrow and
forced to reveal his criminal source[.] I didn't even think about the fact that PV is currently in litigation with the
New York Times[.] Makes it all the more appalling that the NYT would be publishing Veritas' privileged communications[.]
If the New York Times has these memorandums[,] why wouldn't it also have PV's privileged communications that relate directly to
PV's lawsuit against the Times? This is just a massive, massive scandal[.] The New York Times delenda est[.]
Federal
court orders Justice Department to stop extracting data from James O'Keefe's phones. A federal court ordered
the Justice Department to stop extracting data from phones belonging to Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe after the FBI
searched his New York apartment and the homes of two operatives over the past week. Harmeet Dhillon, a civil rights
attorney representing the conservative investigative group, shared the order signed by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres on
Thursday [11/11/2021]. The order said the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York reviewed the
petitioner's motion for an appointment of a special master on Wednesday and ordered the government to "confirm via email it
has paused its extraction and review of the contents of Petitioner O'Keefe's phones" by Friday.
The
FBI Raid of Project Veritas Turns Into a Massive Scandal After Privileged Communications Are Leaked. As
RedState reported, Project Veritas has found itself in the crosshairs of the FBI recently. That began with a raid on
the homes of several of its journalists under the guise of looking for Ashley Biden's diary. Apparently, a stolen diary
is now in the purview of federal authorities. Will they be investigating bike thefts next? But what was so
disturbing, besides the raids happening in the first place, was how quickly The New York Times knew about them. While
O'Keefe was asked by the FBI to keep quiet, the Times knew within hours, pointing to a leaker within the bureau.
Some
Heads Better Roll at the FBI and DOJ After the Project Veritas Document Leak. I have been struggling for a
while to justify the existence of the FBI. After learning during the Trump Administration that the Department of Justice had
been weaponized to investigate Trump as a means to generate a case that might derail his candidacy, I thought that the
agency, to which I once applied for a career, had become a hollow shell of the J. Edgar days. As stories were revealed
about lovestruck FBI employees engaging in an affair that included text messages of their Shakespearian suicide pact to take
down Trump, I figured that the media would turn on the FBI and discredit anything regarding that pending investigation as
biased nonsense. I mean, this had to be a bridge too far for even the liberal media, right? But no, it wasn't.
Where Are the
Neon-Hatted Proud Boys? Asteady drip of information continues to reveal that the Federal Bureau of
Investigation played a much larger — perhaps central — role before and during the Capitol protest than
initially believed. And unanswered questions as to why certain co-conspirators or alleged instigators have not yet been
charged while others who played a far lesser role face serious charges are fueling mounting suspicions that January 6 was an
inside job rather than an "insurrection" incited by President Donald Trump. After months of speculation about the use
of FBI assets, first raised by Darren Beattie at Revolver News, the New York Times confirmed in September that
at least two informants embedded with the Proud Boys were in close contact with their FBI handlers that day.
FBI
Sharply Increases Investigations of 'Domestic Extremism,' But Where's the Evidence It Even Exists? FBI and
Homeland Security Department officials on Thursday reiterated yet again one of the most frequently repeated refrains of the
Biden administration: that "white supremacists" and other "domestic extremists" constitute the foremost terror threat the
nation faces. Now the only thing they need to complete the picture are some actual white supremacist extremists, and
the feds are busy working to solve that problem now. But whether they're catching them or creating them is an open
question. [...] Or, as one Twitter user commented, "The FBI did a great job of stopping themselves yet again." Was this
another case of entrapment? Would the plot have existed at all without the informant's role? Given the fiercely
political use of the FBI by Merrick Garland's Justice Department, these are important questions, but the answers may never be
forthcoming. Meanwhile, the FBI is currently pursuing no fewer than 2,700 investigations of "domestic extremism," more
than twice the usual number of such investigations. The dramatic increase in investigations suggests, at least in a
sane world, a response to a sharply increased threat, but Biden's handlers have shown no evidence of a massive spike in
"white supremacist" terrorism.
FBI Lost HD Rittenhouse
Video, Never Told The Defense It Existed. Unseen footage taken by the FBI from the night of the shootings in
Kenosha, Wisconsin, surfaced on Tuesday during day one of Kyle Rittenhouse's trial. According to Jack Posobiec of Human
Events, the FBI allegedly had an HD version of the video but never told the Rittenhouse defense it existed. In footage
obtained by Human Events, the FBI appears to have taken aerial footage of Rittenhouse and the other participants involved in
the shooting. Some of the footage, which is black-and-white and grainy, was shot from an FBI surveillance drone.
Raid
on Project Veritas journalists once again shows the different standards in the application of law. Yesterday
[11/6/2021], reports appeared in The New York Times and elsewhere that the FBI searched the home of James O'Keefe, the
founder of Project Veritas, on Saturday as part of its investigation into the possible theft of a diary belonging to Ashley
Biden, President Biden's daughter. Mr. O'Keefe released a statement acknowledging that the raid had indeed
occurred and that the FBI had taken materials of current and former Project Veritas journalists despite the fact that Project
Veritas's legal team previously contacted the Department of Justice and had voluntarily conveyed unassailable facts that
demonstrated Project Veritas' lack of involvement in criminal activity and/or criminal intent. O'Keefe also states that
the Department of Justice had requested Project Veritas to not disclose anything related to the raid or the associated
subpoenas. However, what astounded them is that within an hour of one of the raids, The New York Times contacted
Project Veritas for comments. O'Keefe was understandably perplexed as to how The New York Times became aware of the
existence and execution of a search warrant.
Details
demanded on banks that reported customers to FBI after Jan. 6. Government watchdog Judicial Watch is in court
seeking communications between the FBI and various banking institutions that apparently have been reporting their customers
to the law-enforcement agency. Judicial Watch said it filed a response to the Department of Justice's opposition to the
Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The issue is what the banks told the FBI about the customers' transactions around
the Jan. 6 events in Washington, D.C. Judicial Watch spokesman Tom Fitton said, "This Judicial Watch lawsuit shows how the
FBI is corruptly trying to hide that it used the January 6 incident as an excuse to conduct unlawful surveillance of the
American people's bank transactions."
Nobody
at the FBI Was Fooled by Clinton Campaign's Private Operatives. The Brennan notes, coupled with an
investigative referral sent to the FBI, make clear that all the top Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI officials involved in
accepting fake evidence from private operatives during the course of the 2016 presidential campaign knew they were being
approached by people associated with the Clinton campaign. These federal officials then started investigations of the
Trump campaign and applied for federal surveillance warrants on Trump associates based on this fake information. The
documentary evidence speaks very loudly and very clearly: None of these people at the federal agencies were fooled by
either the fake Steele dossier or the fake Alfa-Bank documents. Not one of them. James Comey, Peter Strzok, and
Andrew McCabe, to just name three of the top people involved, knew all along who these operatives approaching them with these
fake hoaxes were really working for. They had been alerted in July 2016 about what Clinton's campaign was preparing to
do. And then both Comey and Strzok were alerted again in September of 2016 when they received the investigative
referral from the CIA. Yet despite this, Comey and Strzok went ahead and took the Steele dossier from the Clinton
campaign's operatives and made use of it for a federal surveillance warrant in late October of 2016.
The
FBI and the Stolen Diary. The strangest news story of the last few days relates to multiple FBI raids on the
homes of people associated with Project Veritas, including that of founder James O'Keefe. Those who were searched say
that the agents were looking for information related to the alleged theft of a diary belonging to Joe Biden's daughter
Ashley, which the New York Times and other news sources have confirmed. The diary dates to 2019, when Ashley was in a
drug rehab facility. It left her possession under circumstances that are not clear. Someone offered it to Project
Veritas, saying that Ashley had left it in a room at, if I understand correctly, the rehab facility. Ashley evidently
maintains that it was stolen. James O'Keefe says that Project Veritas looked into the matter but was unable to confirm
the authenticity of the document. He says that he offered it to Ashley's lawyers, but they wouldn't take it, so he
turned it over to law enforcement. In any event, Project Veritas never did anything to make its contents public.
FBI
Raids Project Veritas Journalists' Homes Looking for Ashley Biden's Diary. Friday afternoon [11/5/2021] Project
Veritas founder James O'Keefe announced that the homes of current and former Project Veritas journalists had been raided by
FBI agents Thursday morning and that he had been served a Grand Jury subpoena with a cover letter requesting that he not make
the existence of the subpoena known. [...] O'Keefe revealed that Project Veritas' legal team had already been in contact with
the FBI about this matter and gave them information that should have negated any need for a search warrant. What was
the FBI looking for? Who signed the search warrant?
The
FBI Just Admitted Something Terrifying and No One Seems to Be Noticing. Why [...] was there an FBI drone
directly over the [Rittenhouse] shooting? Have we even considered the ramifications of what that actually means?
Our government, for any reason that they perceive to be a threat, can conduct mass surveillance of you without a
warrant? Certainly, this was a public place and the courts have ruled that surveillance can be conducted in public
without a warrant, however, there were local police resources. Why would the FBI be conducting this surveillance if
they had no way of stopping or preventing what was happening, from occurring? Regardless of the legality of it, should
we as citizens become comfortable with the idea that this is normal? [...] And probably most importantly, how did you end up
directly over this shooting that night, despite all the other areas in the city where bad things were happening? While
I have never been a conspiracy theorist and abhor conspiracy theories, it seems wildly coincidental that of the several dozen
square block area of Kenosha where there was violence going down that night, that you end up directly over the one shooting
that is going to cause a national debate? I can't be the only one here thinking that's awfully convenient.

Insane Things I Just Learned About How U.S. Elections Are 'Rigged'. [#5] The FBI Is Systemically Biased Towards the Left:
In discussing why Antifa is allowed to threaten peaceful American citizens with violence, Mollie [Hemingway] uncovers one of the political problems
with addressing this: The FBI is systemically biased on behalf of the left. "[T]he agency had long focused its attention on right-wing
extremists and was ill-equipped to deal with threats from the left," she notes. Yes, this is the nation's top law-enforcement agency that
helped hatch the Spygate plot to frame a Republican president. Politically biased — you think?
Biden
FBI Joins Pelosi In Blocking GOP From Investigating January 6. The leading Republican tasked with his party's
investigation into the preparedness and response of the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies to the Capitol
riot on January 6 is being blocked by President Joseph Biden's FBI from gathering information, a new document reveals.
The FBI told Indiana Republican Rep. Jim Banks it would not provide Republicans the same information provided to House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's hand-picked committee consisting only of Democrat-appointed members. "We respectfully refer you
to the Select Committee regarding issues of access to records and information," the agency wrote in response to a Republican
request for information, referring to the official House panel established by the speaker.
The
'Mystery Man' AG Garland Won't Deny Was a Fed Inciting Jan. 6 Rioters Was Scrubbed from FBI 'Most Wanted' List.
Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie at a House hearing on Thursday grilled Attorney General Merrick Garland about a 'mystery
man' named Ray Epps, who is suspected of inciting far-right extremists and Trump supporters to storm the Capitol building on
January 6. On January 5, in a video that has been widely viewed on Twitter, Epps can be heard saying: "I don't
even like to say it because I'll be arrested. I'll say it. We need to go into the Capitol." Ray Epps told The
Arizona Republic in a brief telephone interview following the riots that he had traveled to the capitol, but he had been
advised by an attorney not to speak about it.
FBI
incompetence let Anwar al Awlaki slip away, say retired investigators. More than 20 years after 9/11, two key
investigators who made the case their lives' work have revealed they are still haunted by the fact that the FBI let the
terrorists' spiritual adviser slip away, only to inspire more deadly attacks in the name of Islam. In an exclusive
interview, New Jersey criminal investigator Jim Bush and FBI agent Bob Bukowski, who are both retired, told the Washington
Examiner never-revealed details about how they pieced together some of the players behind the plot to hijack four commercial
planes and kill 2,977 people. But the case that capped the careers of two seasoned investigators brought both triumph and
disappointment, and they are only now learning why Imam Anwar al-Awlaki eluded them in the months after the attack.
Christopher
Steele: Product of Corrupt FBI. ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos has produced a documentary
featuring Christopher Steele, the man responsible for the so-called dossier bearing his name. [P]romotional clips hinted that,
far from a hard-hitting interview exposing Steele for the charlatan he is, Stephanopoulos gave Steele a chance to spin his
story ahead of possible new indictments related to John Durham's inquiry into the Trump-Russia election collusion hoax.
Rather than depict Steele accurately, Stephanopoulos and ABC News social media interns repeatedly describe Steele as an
"ex-British spy" or "former intelligence officer" even though Steele left MI6, the UKs version of the CIA, in 2009 to start a
consulting business. (That same year, Steele presented a report on Russia to President Obama.) Steele's now-discredited
dossier, which Stephanopoulos tries to portray as "raw intelligence," was the basis not just for the entire Russian collusion
hoax but also served as key evidence to support four illicit FISA applications to obtain warrants to spy on Donald Trump and
his associates.
Justice
Department hasn't released Russia documents Trump ordered declassified on last day. Two top Republican senators
are demanding answers from Attorney General Merrick Garland because the Justice Department has failed to release anything in
the "binder" of Crossfire Hurricane documents that former President Donald Trump ordered declassified during his last day in
office. The memo from Trump said he had "determined that the materials in that binder should be declassified to the
maximum extent possible." The FBI said in mid-January that the bureau had "identified the passages that it believed it
was most crucial to keep from public disclosure."
Arrest
of Green Beret Oath Keeper Threatens to Expose FBI's Darkest 1/6 Secrets. The Oath Keepers are the highest-profile
and most extensively prosecuted militia group associated with the events of January 6. So far, the
government has charged a total of 18 Oath Keepers with conspiring to obstruct Congress's certification of the 2020
Presidential Election. This is a serious conspiracy charge that could potentially lead to decades of prison time.
Oddly enough, Oath Keepers founder and leader Stewart Rhodes himself has not been charged with anything, despite the fact
that the government cites Rhodes's own statements and actions as largely constitutive of the conspiracy for which so many of
his underlings face charges. [...] Apart from any charges of conspiracy, there is no doubt that, based on his actions on
January 6, Stewart Rhodes could technically be prosecuted for trespassing on US Capitol grounds. Just last Thursday,
in fact, approximately 20 FBI vehicles swooped in on the home of Oath Keepers associate Jeremy Brown, searched his belongings
for five and a half hours, and took all of his phones and electronics. The feds justified their entire raid on Brown on a
minor alleged "trespassing" offense.
The
FBI Somehow Manages to Become an Even Bigger Joke. Yesterday, RedState reported on the disturbing announcement
by the DOJ that the FBI would now be effectively treating school board protests as domestic terror threats. The
insanity of that can't be overstated. To the extent that there's been unruliness at some local meetings, I'm unaware of
a single serious threat, and even if there has been a physical altercation or two in this massive country of 330 million
people, that hardly qualifies as a terrorist threat. But the suppression of speech through intimidation is the point,
and it's something we've seen repeatedly from Democrat presidents. [...] Yet, today [10/5/2021] the FBI managed to make an
even bigger joke of itself. During a hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace pressed an official who admitted that they do not
even track Antifa violence. Yet, he knew exactly how many cases involving "militias" there were. [Tweet with video
clip] Antifa is by far the most visible domestic terrorist threat in the nation. They run the streets of Portland
and have committed overt acts of violence in cities across the country, including murder. Yet, the FBI doesn't even see
them as worthy of keeping up with? That's an incredibly [bad] admission that confirms what a lot of us have
suspected. Namely, that the FBI seems to only care about domestic terrorism when it fits a certain mold, specifically a
right-wing one.
DeSantis
Throws Down the Gauntlet: Confronts Garland on Troubling FBI Announcement. Attorney General Merrick
Garland made a stunning announcement about having the FBI and U.S. Attorneys' Offices coordinate with federal, state, and
local law enforcement to deal with "threats" of violence against school boards and people working in schools. This
immediately prompted cries from critics that Garland was trying to suppress people objecting to pandemic restrictions and
CRT — two of the hot button issues that have caused many people to come out and object at school board
meetings. While Garland spoke about "threats," he didn't identify any threats or concerns which would qualify as
federal criminal action requiring such interference in the parents' rights to express themselves. Indeed, the
announcement seemed like an effort to basically chill their rights to speak. Normally, if there was any actual
"threat," it would come within the purview of local law enforcement.
Federal
authorities cash in on safety box seizures as owners fight back. Married couple Jeni Pearsons and Michael Store
aren't wealthy. Pearsons works at a nonprofit theater in Los Angeles, and Store is a transportation coordinator in the
film industry. The couple has been saving for retirement for years, buying silver here and there when they could afford
it. To keep their property safe, they rented a safe deposit box at U.S. Private Vaults. They thought everything
was above board until news broke earlier this year about a raid at the Beverly Hills business. The government alleged
that the company conspired with customers to sell drugs, launder money, and stash ill-gotten goods. Armed with a
warrant, FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration agents spent five days ripping several hundred safety deposit boxes out of
the walls and laying claim to its contents. Prosecutors argued they were within their rights and that the boxes
contained weapons and drugs. They also took jewelry, precious metals, and stacks of money to an undisclosed
warehouse. Their final haul was worth around $86 million.
The Symptoms of Our
Insanity. Is there anyone in the recent Washington intelligence and investigatory hierarchy who has not lied or
feigned loss of memory under oath — a low bar that nevertheless excludes, among others, John Brennan, James
Clapper, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Robert Mueller, or Peter Strzok?
It's
Time to Break Up the FBI. FBI director Christopher Wray says that he would like to do away with encrypted
messenger services like Signal that I and many of my friends and colleagues use to communicate with each other. Wray
claims that would make it easier to counter so-called "domestic extremism" that he and secretary of homeland security
Alejandro Mayorkas, not to mention most of the staff of MSNBC, CNN, and the New York Times, are insisting (forget al-Qaeda,
et al.) is the greatest threat to our nation today. You know, folks like that hapless fellow in horns that's been in
solitary confinement since Jan. 6 as if he were a serial killer, he and those thousands of other "terrorists" and
"insurrectionists," only one of whom, it turns out, had a gun, who stormed (or were they waved in) to the Capitol that
day. But truth to tell, the very reason I — and I assume others — am on Signal and Telegraph is
to stay as far as possible from prying prevaricators like Wray and Mayorkas and, most of all, from the organizations they
lead. I recommend others do the same.
Abolish
the FBI. In ignoring the latest John Durham indictment, most of the media and official Washington are ignoring
the elephant between its lines: the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Mr. Durham, the special counsel appointed to
investigate the government's handling of the Russia collusion mess, levels a single criminal charge against Michael Sussmann,
then a lawyer for the Democrat-linked firm Perkins Coie. In delivering to the FBI fanciful evidence of Trump-Russia collusion
a few weeks before the 2016 election, Mr. Sussmann is alleged to have lied to the FBI's chief lawyer, James Baker, claiming
he was acting on his own behalf and not as a paid agent of the Clinton campaign. [Paywall]
FBI
says fortune seized in Beverly Hills raid was criminals' loot. Owners say: Where's the proof? After
the FBI seized Joseph Ruiz's life savings during a raid on a safe deposit box business in Beverly Hills, the unemployed chef
went to court to retrieve his $57,000. A judge ordered the government to tell Ruiz why it was trying to confiscate the
money. It came from drug trafficking, an FBI agent responded in court papers. Ruiz's income was too low for him
to have that much money, and his side business selling bongs made from liquor bottles suggested he was an unlicensed pot
dealer, the agent wrote. The FBI also said a dog had smelled unspecified drugs on Ruiz's cash. The FBI was
wrong. When Ruiz produced records showing the source of his money was legitimate, the government dropped its false
accusation and returned his money.
What
If the FBI Threw an Insurrection and Nobody Came? [Scroll down] The FBI wouldn't do that, would
they? Actually they have a long history of such actions. Here are just a few examples. Richard Jewell was
falsely accused by the FBI or bombing the Olympic Park in Atlanta in 1996. The FBI entrapped General Michael Flynn,
destroying his life through a multi-year legal battle. At least 12 of the 18 supposed would-be kidnappers of Michigan
Gov. were FBI informants. Then there is Spygate, a fabricated tale woven by the Clinton campaign, FBI, and DOJ to
seditiously undermine a presidential election and subsequent administration. Lastly was the FBI's botched investigation
over sexual abuse of Olympic gymnasts. Abusing young women was an unimportant matter for the FBI yet they sent 15
special agents lickety-split to investigate a garage door pull handle in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace's garage that supposedly
looked like a noose. Back to the J6 rally. Anyone with half a brain could see that this was another FBI
entrapment scheme, to justify more arrests and more prisoners in solitary confinement awaiting trial for walking benignly
through the U.S. Capitol.
When
will the FBI answer for its many failures? Four U.S. gymnastics stars testified Wednesday before the Senate
Judiciary Committee about the horrifying abuse they suffered at the hands of national team doctor Larry Nassar. But
Nassar wasn't the only culprit, according to these women: The FBI also failed them by refusing to take their reports
seriously and, in at least one case, changing the records in an attempt to deflect blame from the agency. [...] This is just
the latest example of rot within the FBI. The agency has proved repeatedly that it is incompetent and incapable of fulfilling
its mission to protect and defend Americans. FBI officials failed to act ahead of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting and
the 2018 Parkland school shooting despite being tipped off about both ahead of time. They refused to prosecute mass
sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein even after new evidence of his abuse emerged in 2016. And they failed to investigate the
allegations against Nassar, allowing hundreds of other young women to suffer unbearable abuse. You might ask, is there
anything the FBI has done? Of course. The agency spent three years investigating easily debunked claims of
collusion between former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia. It helped organize a plot to kidnap
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and it raided the home of a protester involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and
seized his lego set. Don't you feel safe?
Here's
What to Do if the FBI's 'Sedition Hunters' Show Up at Your Door. There have been multiple reports that the FBI
is showing up on the doorsteps of Republican voters in order to hunt down "extremists." The AP reported that the FBI is
using citizen snitch groups to hunt down January 6 protest participants. [...] Never mind that people who were at the January
6 event who did not engage in any violence and are guilty of nothing more than trespassing are facing major jail time.
One is comedian and political commentator Tim Gionet, aka "Baked Alaska." Gionet live-streamed his walk through the
Capitol and interviewed many of the protesters there. He did not appear to engage in any violence but he is facing
twenty years in federal prison. Gionet sat down for an interview with Milo Yiannopoulos on YouTube — which
is now unavailable because YouTube deleted Milo's account last week. Gionet shared the brutal treatment he received at
the hands of the FBI, including threats to lock him up for twenty years if he did not give up the identities of some of the
people in the Capitol with him.
Hunt
for Capitol attackers still on 6 months after Jan. 6. The first waves of arrests in the deadly siege at the
U.S. Capitol focused on the easy targets. Dozens in the pro-Trump mob openly bragged about their actions on Jan. 6 on
social media and were captured in shocking footage broadcast live by national news outlets. But six months after the
insurrection, the Justice Department is still hunting for scores of rioters, even as the first of more than 500 people
already arrested have pleaded guilty. The struggle reflects the massive scale of the investigation and the grueling
work still ahead for authorities in the face of an increasing effort by some Republican lawmakers to rewrite what happened
that day.
FBI
Allegedly Funded White Supremacist Publisher: Court Documents. The FBI allegedly paid a publisher of
white supremacist literature more than $144,000 over 16-plus years to serve as a confidential informant, according to recent
filings in an ongoing domestic extremism case. These allegations were made earlier this month by Kaleb Cole, an accused
member of the white supremacist group Atomwaffen. Cole was arrested in February 2020 for allegedly participating in an
Atomwaffen intimidation campaign against Jewish people and journalists of color. On Aug. 13, Cole filed a motion to
suppress evidence seized during the FBI's search of his Texas home. According to Cole, the FBI failed to disclose the
sordid background of one of its confidential informants in the bureau's application for a search warrant. "The CI
[confidential informant] is a convicted felon and currently owns and operates a publishing company that distributes white
supremacist writings," Cole said in his Aug. 13 filing.
You
will never guess who's paying for American Nazi literature. Sean Davis's tweet was an eye-opener: "The
FBI was using taxpayer money to secretly publish satanic, Neo-Nazi propaganda? Real shocker right there. The FBI
is a corrupt, trash organization that is destroying America." And no, Davis wasn't having some sort of stress-induced
breakdown. He was pointing to a series of tweets by Ali Winston, an investigative reporter, who was following a filing
in the federal case against Kaleb Cole, an American Neo-Nazi. [...] Broken down into simpler terms, Kaleb Cole filed a motion
to suppress evidence seized from his home. To support this motion, he alleged that the government had a confidential
informant who had worked for the FBI for 16 years. During that time, the confidential informant received $140,000 from
the FBI, over $78,000 of which (plus another $4,378 for expenses) came while he was cuddling up to Cole. The
confidential informant isn't some cool Serpico-like guy, burying himself among the bad guys to bring them down.
Instead, he's a convicted felon who owns a white supremacist publishing company. It was he who put together all the
information being used against Cole.
FBI
Starts Cover Story to Cloud Their Involvement in January 6th Events — Now Claim No Evidence of Coordination For J6
Insurrection. The motive for the FBI to say there is "scant evidence" of any coordinated group activity in the
January 6th Capitol Hill events is transparent. The FBI need to cloud their involvement, their coordination, their
agents, their planted informants and the FBI direction in the events. Reuters is writing today that current and former
FBI officials have reversed course and said there is scant evidence that any right-wing or extremist group coordinated any
attack on Capitol Hill.
Tucker
Carlson sees coverup plot behind announcement FBI found little evidence of coordination among Jan. 6
demonstrators. Most conservative commentators have reacted with glee to a report from Reuters that:
["]The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to
overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.["] [...]
But Tucker Carlson, the most important conservative commentator of the moment, takes his reasoning a full step farther.
In a segment of the Friday edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, he asked, "Why is the FBI exonerating people?"
After reviewing the months of the 180 degrees opposite narrative, put out by the FBI and broadcast by the progressive media,
that an organized insurrection took place, he suggests a sinister motive behind the leaked story to Reuters. "If there
was organization going on, some of it came from the feds." As has often been the case, the FBI placed informants, or
perhaps agents provocateur is the better term, among the demonstrators. In fact, there are upwards of 20
unindicted co-conspirators from the January 6 incident, and a good number of these may have been ringleaders on the FBI
payroll, escaping prosecution for acts that were worse than the crimes for which others have been prosecuted.
FBI
Destroys Insurrection Narrative: 'Scant Evidence' Capitol Riots was Coordinated. Sources told Reuters the FBI
has not found much evidence that proves anyone coordinated the Capitol Hill riot: ["]Though federal officials have
arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by
far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either
directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.["]
The
FBI Finally Proves That Donald Trump Had Nothing to Do with Jan. 6 'Insurrection'. The Federal Bureau of
Investigation did not set out to prove Donald Trump had nothing to do with the January 6 events that have been characterized
as an "insurrection" and a "coup." But a new exclusive report from Reuters obliterates the essential claims that Donald Trump
directed extremists to attack the Capitol building and urged protesters to thwart a peaceful transfer of power. "The
FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the
presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials," Reuters reported.
"Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was
not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources,
who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations," the report continued.
FBI Finds Scant
Evidence Of Any Coordination On Jan 6, Hardly The Insurrection The Media Wanted You to Believe. Corroboration
from an FBI report on the Jan. 6 riots has concluded that the storming of the U.S. Capitol bore no relation to a political
agenda devised by the GOP, or former President Trump. According to the investigation — exclusively released
by Reuters — observing participants arrested at the Capitol on Jan. 6, collective information revealed that well
over 90 percent of people stated no allegiance to a GOP-inspired objective during the rioting. "Ninety to ninety-five
percent of these are one-off cases. Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely
organized." The remaining few in this group were self-proclaimed political extremists, whose only concrete goal was to
break into the Capitol — without a clue beyond this step.
FBI
finds Capitol storming wasn't organized by pro-Trump groups: Reuters. The Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) has found that the January 6 storming of the United States Capitol was not organized by pro-Donald Trump groups as part
of a plot to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, four current and former law enforcement officials said,
according to Reuters on Friday [8/20/2021]. More than 570 alleged participants have been arrested since the demonstration,
but the FBI believes they are almost all "one-off cases" and not due to a centrally coordinated "far-right" effort, nor are they
the result of an organized push by then-President Donald Trump supporters.
FBI
Finally Admits there Is "Scant Evidence" US Capitol Attack Was Coordinated — The "Organized Plot" Talking Point Was a Massive Lie!
It only took this corrupt organization seven months to finally report the truth. The FBI admitted this week there was
"scant evidence" the US Capitol "attack" was coordinated. We knew this when it happened. The dirtbags at the FBI
finally admitted this today. Chris Wray and James Comey DESTROYED the once-respected intelligence organization.
Maybe someday an honest FBI agent will leak out the details on the informants and plants they had in the crowd that
day? And, yet the FBI continues to arrest grandmas and actors who walked inside the US Capitol that day, many of whom
were waved in by the police. So will the FBI ever admit that US Capitol Police killed two conservative women that day?
FBI
finds scant evidence U.S. Capitol attack was coordinated - sources. Though federal officials have arrested more

said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. "Then you have five percent, maybe,
of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones
and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages."
FBI
Investigation Just Blew Up the Dem Narrative about the Capitol Riot. [Scroll down] Just like the Russia
collusion hoax, here's yet another lie that's blown up on them. The FBI investigators found that while some of the
people might have wanted to break into the Capitol, there was "no evidence" that they had serious plans about what to do if
they made it inside. This is why they didn't file any sedition charges. Oh. So the folks who argue that
this was about overthrowing the government folks also get dealt a huge blow with this. So in essence, we are talking
about what we've always been talking about here — a riot. BLM/Antifa rioted/attacked the Portland federal
court house for more than 100 days, coming out with the same people. Yet their pictures aren't posted to be
investigated on their own page, most weren't held and none of those leaders appears to have been identified or even pursued,
despite the obvious organizing of it all over more than a year.
71-Year-Old
Grandmother Visited By FBI Over Attending January Trump Rally. Coweta County School Board Member Linda Menk, a
71-year-old grandmother who lives in the rural community 40 miles southwest of Atlanta, says she was paid a visit by a pair
of FBI agents for attending former President Donald Trump's now-infamous D.C. rally on Jan. 6. "It wasn't festive, but
it was friendly," Menk said of the rally, telling The Federalist she remained on the outskirts of the crowd at Trump's White
House speech, standing on the grounds of the Washington Monument to watch the jumbotron from afar. "That was kind of
where we camped out so-to-speak," attending with a group she met in her hotel the night before since she got separated from
those she drove from Georgia with.
FBI
Knew Of Hunter Biden's Missing Laptop As Early As December 2019. The FBI knew as early as December 2019 that
Hunter Biden believed Russians had stolen his laptop, which he believed made him vulnerable to blackmail because of
compromising evidence on the laptop combined with his father's presidential ambitions. This explosive revelation
establishes that either Joe Biden lied to the American public, or the intelligence community lied to him. When The New
York Post went public in October 2020 with videos, text messages, and emails from an abandoned MacBook laptop belonging to
Hunter Biden, Joe Biden told Americans the laptop was a Russian hoax. But now Brian Della Rocca, an attorney
representing John Paul Mac Isaac, has told me that the video of Hunter Biden telling a prostitute he thought Russians had
stolen a second laptop, leaving him susceptible to blackmail, was "definitely on the hard drive" of the Biden MacBook
abandoned at Isaac's shop and later seized by the FBI.
IG:
FBI employees contacted journalists who reported classified information before 2016 election. The Justice
Department, after a years-long investigation, says it still cannot pinpoint who in the FBI leaked "non-public" information to
the press in 2016 about the agency's probe of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server,
according to a report by the department's inspector general. In the 10-page report released Thursday, Inspector General
Michael E. Horowitz said officials were also unable to link any evidence of FBI leaks to former Trump lawyer Rudolph
Giuliani, who said in the days leading up to the 2016 election that then-presidential candidate Donald Trump had some "pretty
big surprises" to reveal.
FBI
agent in hot water for using provocative pics of female colleagues to lure sex-traffickers. An unnamed FBI
agent was the subject of a recent investigation by the Department of Justice that revealed he was using provocative photos of
female staffers as bait in an undercover sex-trafficking sting. Although his intentions may have been noble, Justice
Department General Inspector Michael Horowitz issued a memo on Monday where he was critical of the agent and the FBI's
tactics. The agent in question had urged the women to "not tell anyone, including their supervisors, about the UC
[undercover] operations," Horowitz said. Although the faces of the staffers were blurred and each was clothed, the
women never gave written release for the photos to be used in the operation. Questions of impropriety arose when the
agent was found not only to have made the request of one staffer, but that it was believed to be an application of leverage
spawning from an inappropriate relationship with the office staffer. Further investigation found that the request for
photos was not isolated to one staffer, nor was the agent alone in the practice of such maneuvers at the bureau.
Disband the FBI.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) continues its downward spiral into terminal corruption. Sadly, the scandals,
criminality and ethical abuses of the organization are largely ignored by the American public and by the institutions of
government charged with oversight and correction. Outrage after outrage is reported, hearings are held, Inspector
General reports are issued — but the systemic corruption is never really tackled and dirty cops skate away
virtually unscathed. This situation is constitutionally unacceptable, corrosive to public trust in law enforcement, and
a threat to the survival of the republic. In the past few days alone, we have learned that the October 2020 Michigan
governor kidnap plot was largely a creation of the FBI; a "senior FBI official" was on the take from media organizations; and
another assistant director was in a "romantic relationship with a subordinate" and involved in "other misconduct." The
leadership failures documented by the Office of the Inspector General are now almost standard and part of a tiresome media
drip-torture for the public to endure. Meanwhile, the FBI had the audacity to issue a Stasi-like tweet urging
"monitoring of 'family members and peers' for extremism." Remember: what we learn about the FBI in the press are
only the stories that are SO outrageous that the FBI cannot keep a lid on them and is forced to make disclosures via a
toothless Inspector General report — but never anything that results in a criminal indictment.
Grassley
presses FBI to explain its monitoring of conservative women's group. Sen. Charles E. Grassley is pressing
the FBI to explain the reasoning for its newly revealed probe into the conservative group Concerned Women for America, The
Washington Times has learned. The FBI's review of the pro-life women's organization has prompted an outcry from the
group's leadership and others concerned about law enforcement and intelligence community surveillance of Americans. The
FBI determined in July 2016 that there was nothing to investigate regarding Concerned Women for America after a "charity
assessment" for potential "embezzlement of non-profit organizations/corporate fraud," according to a document that the FBI
revealed in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Cato Institute.
The
FBI is made of snitches, often trapping Americans into committing crimes. Leading up to the events of 9/11,
there was probably no federal agency with a higher public stature than the FBI: [...] But today, after two decades of
failure, embarrassment, mendacity, favoritism, political partisanship, incompetent leadership and exasperating sanctimony
about a "higher loyalty," the Bureau's moral reputation lies in tatters. Whether it was former Director James Comey
sanctimoniously dithering in public over Hillary Clinton's emails in 2016, to former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's
misleading of investigators about his role in leaking confidential memos to the news media, to the illicit lovebirds Peter
Strzok and Lisa Page cooing about an "insurance policy" against a Trump victory that year, the FBI has destroyed its
squeaky-clean public image. But wait — there's worse. It's become an organization of snitches and
spies, borderline entrapping the angry and the weak-minded into committing crimes. Nearly a decade ago, New York Times'
David K. Shipler listed a series of would-be terrorist plots thwarted by the FBI — only to find that the vast
majority of them were facilitated by agents and informers posing as terrorists themselves. They even chauffeured some
of the suspects to the would-be crime scenes themselves, only to foil the "plot" at the last minute.
Rep.
Jordan Asks IG Horowitz for More Evidence on FBI Official's Alleged Misconduct. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio)
sent a letter to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on July 21 regarding the alleged misconduct of an
unnamed former senior FBI official. Jordan, in his letter, asks for Horowitz to explain to the House Judiciary
committee "the extent of this serious misconduct, and evaluate the FBI's handling of the matter." "To allow the
committee to better understand the OIG's findings, determine the extent of his serious misconduct, and evaluate the FBI's
handling of the matter, I ask that you please provide the complete unredacted case file of investigative Summary 21-096, to
include all documents, communications, and other evidence related to the report," he wrote.
FBI
accused of running 'fake tip line' during Brett Kavanaugh background check. Seven Senate Judiciary Committee
Democrats demanded the FBI explain its use of a novel tip line implemented during a supplemental background investigation
into then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. In a Tuesday letter to Director Chris Wray, Democratic senators
accused the FBI of being "politically constrained by the Trump White House," demanding to know what extent the agency vetted
tips and whether the administration prevented it from doing so. The letter was written by Sens. Dick Durbin,
Patrick Leahy, Chris Coons, Cory Booker, Mazie Hirono, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Richard Blumenthal. The accusation comes
in response to a June 30 letter from Jill Tyson, assistant director for the FBI's Office of Congressional Affairs, addressed
to Whitehouse and Coons detailing the agency's supplemental background investigation into sexual assault allegations levied
against Kavanaugh after he was nominated by former President Donald Trump to serve on the Supreme Court.

Suspected
FBI Leaker Could Evade Consequences. A senior FBI official found guilty of misconduct for accepting
unauthorized gifts from journalists, including tickets to pricy black-tie dinners, in 2016 could evade consequences because
the official resigned before the investigation was completed, the Department of Justice inspector general said Tuesday
[7/20/2021]. The misconduct finding is part of a years-long Justice Department inspector general investigation into
FBI media leaks during the 2016 election. In 2018, the inspector general's office said it was probing "numerous FBI
employees, at all levels of the organization and with no official reason to be in contact with the media, who were
nevertheless in frequent contact with reporters."
Judge
dismisses "frivolous" defamation lawsuit against FBI informant in Trump-Russia case. A federal judge has
dismissed a lawsuit against Trump-Russia FBI spy Stefan Halper, while also sanctioning plaintiff Svetlana Lokhova and her
attorney for "their continuing to bring frivolous litigation against Halper." The final ruling, filed July 9 in
Virginia by U.S. District Court Judge Leonie M. Brinkema, came in the second of two lawsuits filed by Ms. Lokhova.
She is a Russia-born, British citizen-scholar wrongly linked by press reports in 2017-18 to some type of inappropriate
contact with retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. Her first lawsuit, brought by lawyer Steven S. Biss,
alleged defamation by Mr. Halper and news media outlets. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th District agreed
with Judge Brinkema's 2020 decision and dismissed the case. The judges ruled that some news stories were beyond the
one-year statute of limitations, and others did not rise to defamation or prove that Mr. Halper was the reporters' source.
The Rank
Shame of the FBI's Rank and File. The FBI's rank and file recently banged down the door of a Florida pastor and
his son. Neither were accused of violent crimes, but the rank and file arrested both of them, taking the pastor's son
into custody in front of his three-year-old daughter. The rank and file terrorized a Lakeland, Florida community by
shouting through loudspeakers and using flashbang devices in its pre-dawn raid on the home of three January 6 suspects.
The rank and file arrested a 69-year-old California woman accused of taking photos in the Capitol building for 30 minutes,
after members of the rank and file questioned her without an attorney present. She thought she was helping the rank and
file catch the "real" bad guys, only to learn that the rank and file had targeted her as the bad guy for her half-hour of
photography. These types of boorish, melodramatic arrests of by-and-large ordinary Americans have been carried out by
the rank and file for more than six months. The manner of the arrests themselves is clearly punitive, meant to send a
clear message: the federal government is powerful, and if you are deemed its enemy, you will feel its wrath. [...] No members
of the rank and file FBI, as far as we know, have acknowledged the immorality of what they are being ordered to do —
terrorize and embarrass the political opponents of their own bosses. Not one member of the rank and file FBI has said to
himself, "This just isn't right," and turned in his badge and gun in protest.
Senior
FBI official took free gifts from media while Trump-Russia probe was underway, watchdog says. The Office of
Inspector General for the Department of Justice released the findings Tuesday [7/20/2021] of an investigation that found a
former senior FBI official violated agency policy by having numerous unauthorized contacts with the media. The
investigation found that the official, who has not been named and has since retired from the agency, "had numerous contacts
with members of the media between January and November 2016 in violation of FBI policy," as well as accepted unauthorized
gifts from media members, according to the report. The senior official had unofficial contact with media officials
during the opening months of the Trump-Russia investigation. That investigation by the FBI started in the months
leading up to and after the Nov. 2016 presidential election. However, the report does not mention that this
official was part of the investigation. Investigators found that the official had accepted tickets from members of
the media for two black-tie dinner events, one costing $225 and the other costing $300.
Inspector
General Outlines More Gross FBI Misconduct With Senior Officials and Media Collusion. In 2018 the Department of
Justice Office of Inspector General (DOJ-OIG) highlighted numerous FBI officials who accepted bribes from multiple media
outlets including: "tickets to sporting events", "golf outings", "drinks and meals" as well as exclusive invitations and
admission to "nonpublic social events". Today [7/20/2021] the OIG expanded on the investigation that stemmed from that
original outline, and published new findings. Within the latest two page summary, the "senior FBI official" is unnamed;
however, prior research indicates it was former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. [Document] It is very
frustrating to see that nothing is done to hold these corrupt FBI officials to account for such gross abuses of power and
position. The dual system of justice in the United States is creating a very serious collapse in credibility for
multiple institutions of government.
Are
There Any Good Apples. With the latest revelation of massive FBI incompetence/corruption — turns out
the G-men ended up not just screwing up the gymnastics pervert case but lying about it under oath — you have to
wonder something. We keep getting told that the rank-and-file are A-OK, that it's just a few bad apples up on the top
floor who are framing people, botching investigations, not stopping mass killers, urging intrafamilial narcing, and busting
LEGO insurrectionists. Fine, great, dandy. So, where are all the good apples? Who quit in protest?
Who resigned and went public? Who said "No?" [...] Your oath or your pension is the choice, and the pension seems to
prevails almost every single time.
FBI:
Narc on Your Loved Ones to Battle 'Homegrown Violent Extremism'. [T]he federal government has gotten even
creepier ever since Joe Biden was installed as acting president. There's a lust for federal control on the Left that's
grown immeasurably, especially since January 20, 2021. It had been getting out of hand all during the pandemic last
year. We've witnessed the uncomfortable spectacle of almost half the country willingly ceding their freedoms and
celebrating government control of their lives. [...] It's beyond unnerving that the FBI thinks it's perfectly normal to
encourage Americans to behave like oppressed masses who lived behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. This isn't
just an example of the FBI's social media people being tone-deaf, the document it references says the same thing. The
rot within the Bureau was bad when Trump was in office, which means it will only get worse with this commie clown show of an
administration.
The
FBI Further Proves It's an Irredeemable Dumpster Fire of Corruption. Perhaps no organization over the last
half-decade has seen its credibility falter more than the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The once-storied agency,
having ostensibly overcome its history of corruption, was exposed for having done anything but during the Donald Trump
era. From its illegitimate use of garbage intelligence (the Steele Dossier) to initiate an investigation of the Trump
campaign to its lies to garner a FISA warrant targeting Carter Page, there appeared to be no limits to how politicized the
FBI was willing to become. That culminated in the current FBI Director's stonewalling of record requests and the DOJ's
refusal to charge anyone who had clearly broken the law from inside the bureau. Of course, we can't forget the
near-constant selective leaks, always targeting one side. Well, that trend continues. Earlier this week,
bombshell revelations dropped that FBI agents had lied in order to cover up a botched investigation against pedophile Larry
Nassar, who reportedly targeted at least 70 women between the time the FBI was alerted to his activities and his arrest
by Michigan law enforcement via another investigation.

Hotel
Maid Prevents Potential 'Las Vegas Style' Mass Shooting Ahead of All-Star Game — FBI Says No Link to
Terrorism. A Denver hotel maid prevented a potential 'Vegas style' mass shooting ahead the MLB All-Star game
over the weekend. The maid discovered more than a dozen weapons, a thousand rounds of ammo and body armor in a room at
the Maven Hotel near Coors Field. According to Denver police, authorities confiscated narcotics, 16 firearms, ammo and
body armor from two hotel rooms that had balconies overlooking downtown Denver. Three men and one woman were arrested
and being held on suspicion of weapons charges and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, according
to Denver police.
FBI
Wants Family Members To Snitch On Each Other To Prevent 'Homegrown Extremism'. The FBI issued an ominous tweet
on Sunday which encourages "family members and peers" to "learn how to spot suspicious behaviors and report them to the FBI"
in the name of national security. The broadly-worded tweet[,] from the same agency that confiscated an unassembled Lego
model of the US Capitol as evidence against a Jan. 6 protester[,] suggests that family members are "often best
positioned to witness signs of mobilization to violence." For example, your radicalized Antifa nephew is being
encouraged tell the FBI that you might be a domestic terror threat because you own guns and told the family at Thanksgiving
you don't like illegal immigration.
FBI
Urges Americans To Monitor 'Family Members And Peers' To 'Prevent Homegrown Violent Extremism'. The FBI took to
Twitter Sunday [7/11/2021] to encourage families to watch out for "homegrown violent extremism." "Family members and

extremism," the FBI's tweet read in part. Family members and peers are often best positioned to witness signs of
mobilization to violence. Help prevent homegrown violent extremism. Visit [link] to learn how to spot suspicious
behaviors and report them to the #FBI. [...]" [Tweet] The link included in the tweet takes readers to the 2019 edition
of the Homegrown Violent Extremism Mobilization Indicators report. The report separates extremism into three groups
based on whether the action is highly, moderately, or minimally diagnostic on its own.
The Editor says...
The difference between this and SWATting is that in this case the government is initiating the process.
No,
the FBI did not seize a 'fully constructed Lego set' from a Jan 6 rioter. It has been revealed that a report by
The Daily Beast regarding a "fully assembled" Lego model of the Capitol, found in the possession of a suspect charged
in connection to the riot Jan. 6, was fake news. Last week, social media lit up after The Daily Beast published
a "scoop" revealing that a man arrested for his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot had a "fully assembled" Lego set of
the US Capitol in his home. The story was widely mocked by political commentators and keyboard pundits asking if the
FBI was going to investigate other Lego sets in people's homes, everything from Hogwarts to the Death Star. It turns
out the reporting was erroneous, as the man only had the unopened box set.
The Editor says...
Whether the Lego model was assembled or unassembled is immaterial. The FBI has had to stoop to the level of confiscating toys
to prove that a skeptic of the November 2020 election is a domestic terrorist. If a Lego set is introduced as evidence, the jury
should erupt in derisive laughter and throw the case out.
FBI
Seizes "Fully Constructed" Lego Model of U.S. Capitol at Home of Alleged January 6th Rioter. The FBI has
reportedly found a "fully constructed" Lego brand toy model of the U.S. Capitol in the home of one of the alleged January 6th
rioters. The media is treating this story as very, very serious. We live in such dumb times. [...] American citizens
have been held in solitary confinement without bail or trial for months, and this is what we're talking about.
It's like we're living in an episode of the Twilight Zone.
FBI
seized 'fully constructed' US Capitol Lego set from home of alleged rioter. The FBI seized a "fully
constructed" Lego set of the U.S. Capitol from the home of an alleged insurrectionist. Prosecutors detailed the finding
in a court document for Robert Morss, who was arrested on June 11 at his home in Glenshaw, Pa. The government argued
that Morss should be detained from court pending trial. According to the court filing dated July 2, law enforcement
recovered clothing and other items from Morss's home that match what he carried on Jan. 6. Among the items were a "'Don't
Tread on Me' flag, a neck gaiter, a military utility bag, a black tourniquet, and military fatigues." In addition,
"law enforcement also recovered a fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set," prosecutors wrote. It's unclear why Morss
had the Lego set. The Pittsburg Post-Gazette previously reported that Morss was a substitute social studies teacher.
Lego
Figures Charged With Insurrection. As news that one of the dangerous January 6 insurrectionists had a Lego
White House taken from his home as evidence, further news has leaked that the FBI will likely charge many of his Lego
mini-figures with weapons and conspiracy charges.An unknown number of mini-figures was taken into custody. At least
four were reportedly cooperating with law enforcement and may have been long-time FBI informants.
Defund the FBI. Nearly six months after the
events of January 6, the FBI, under the direction of Joe Biden's vengeful Justice Department, is accelerating the nationwide
manhunt for anyone involved. Since June 23, agents have arrested 17 people from Florida to California. Charges
range from assaulting police officers and criminal trespassing to something called "destruction of property in special
maritime and territorial jurisdiction and aiding and abetting." The dragnet is part of the nonstop campaign of terror
unleashed by the Biden regime against the political Right. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who compares
January 6 to the Oklahoma City bombing and Capitol protesters to terrorists, pledged the "Capitol breach" probe would be
his top priority. Garland last week bragged in a press release that his department reached the "benchmark" of arresting
500 people and warned he would "hold all January 6 perpetrators accountable" for their actions that day. His
prosecutors routinely ask the courts to keep the accused behind bars awaiting trials that won't start until late this year or
perhaps even 2022; dozens have been held for months in a D.C. jail that specifically houses January 6 defendants.
FBI Director Christopher Wray, despite assurances his agency treats all protesters the same regardless of partisan
affiliation (LOL), is happy to assist Garland in his mission. Wray insists "domestic violent extremists" —
code for Trump supporters — pose the greatest security threat to the country.
FBI
Fabrication Against Assange Falls Apart. On the final day of the Assange extradition hearing, magistrate
Vanessa Baraitser refused to accept an affidavit from Assange's solicitor Gareth Peirce, on the grounds it was out of
time. The affidavit explained that the defense had been unable to respond to the new accusations in the United States
government's second superseding indictment, because these wholly new matters had been sprung on them just six weeks before
the hearing resumed on Sept. 8, 2020. The defense had not only to gather evidence from Iceland, but had virtually no
access to Assange to take his evidence and instructions, as he was effectively in solitary confinement in Belmarsh. The
defense had requested an adjournment to give them time to address the new accusations, but this adjournment had been refused
by Baraitser. She now refused to accept Gareth Peirce's affidavit setting out these facts.

incursion had happened. He said he turned over evidence to the FBI that proves this[.] But the FBI still raided
his and his mother's apartments. He's had two strokes since. He's said he's been ostracized by his community,
where he was a respected member. All because an anonymous caller reportedly told the FBI he was bragging about having
entered the Capitol — which he has the evidence to prove he didn't do. According to a Wednesday [6/23/2021]
piece by New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, Bolanos is the president of his Upper West Side block association, a
position he's held for almost a quarter-century.
What
The FBI Did to a Pillar of His Community After the Capitol Riot Is Shameful. Joseph Bolanos, 69, was
well-respected in his community, always coming to the aid of others. As the president of his local block association in
New York City, he has always looked out for his neighbors, particularly over this past year during the pandemic doing things
to raise morale. He even became a Red Cross volunteer after 9/11, and he also once saved a woman when someone tried to
mug her. On top of all that, he takes care of his elderly mother, who is 94. But, the FBI blew up his life and
almost destroyed him over the past few months. His crime? Attending President Donald Trump's rally on Jan. 6 with
a friend, even though he never went into the Capitol building. He dropped in on the rally and then went back to his
hotel. He was there at his hotel, with time stamps on pictures to prove it, he says, during the breach at the
Capitol. He did go back to the Capitol later, filming from the outside, but the riot was over by that point.
Affidavits
Raise More Questions About FBI's Role in Trump Probe. Affidavits filed in a federal court on June 21 raise
crucial questions about the FBI's role in the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign's efforts to vilify her opponent,
Donald Trump, as a Russian agent. The FBI obtained a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on the
Trump team based on a dossier of memos alleging Trump's ties to Russia that was filed by Clinton campaign contractor
Christopher Steele. But the newly released court documents suggest the FBI may have helped shape the anti-Trump plot at
its origins. The affidavits are the latest revelation to come from the ongoing defamation suit that the owners of
Alfa-Bank, Russia's largest commercial bank, have brought against Fusion GPS, the communications firm that hired Steele to
compile Trump — Russia reports on behalf of the Clinton campaign. In one of Steele's memos, Alfa-Bank
principals Mikhail Fridman, Petr Aven, and German Khan are alleged to have engaged in corrupt practices.
Feds
accused of seizing $85 million from safe deposit boxes without 'any legal basis'. Hundreds of people storing
valuables in safe deposit boxes in Los Angeles may never see their cash, precious metals and heirlooms again, unless a
federal judge intervenes in the next week. Several are suing the government for seizing the contents of about 800 boxes
as part of a March raid of the storage provider, U.S. Private Vaults (USPV), which was indicted for conspiracy to sell drugs
and launder money. The Institute for Justice (IJ) is seeking class-action status for a May lawsuit by several owners
alleging "shocking, unconscionable, and unconstitutional" behavior by the government. IJ attorney Robert Frommer
accused the feds of an "$85 million cash grab" from people who were not accused of wrongdoing.
Affidavit:
FBI feared Pennsylvania would seize fabled gold. An FBI agent applied for a federal warrant in 2018 to seize a
cache of gold that he said had been "stolen during the Civil War" while en route to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, and was
"now concealed in an underground cave" in northwestern Pennsylvania. That's according to court documents unsealed
Thursday [6/24/2021]. The FBI had long refused to confirm why exactly it went digging on state-owned land in Elk County
in March 2018. After meeting with the treasure hunters in early 2018, the FBI brought in a contractor with more sophisticated
instruments. The contractor detected an underground mass that weighed up to nine tons and had the density of gold,
the affidavit said. The FBI said in the newly released court documents that it feared the state of Pennsylvania would claim
the gold for itself, setting up a costly legal battle. That amount of gold would be worth hundreds of millions of
dollars. Federal authorities say the dig came up empty. But the father-son duo who brought a small army of federal
agents to the site remain convinced the FBI uncovered something there — and their lawyer is still pressing the case,
successfully suing for access to government emails about the dig.
When the FBI Framed
Four Innocent Men. [Scroll down] Eventually, the surviving men and their families, along with the
families of the deceased Greco and Tameleo, filed suit against the FBI. Not only did the FBI refuse to admit the
truth — that these men were innocent — but the FBI also obstructed their civil rights trial. It
turned out that the FBI had been hiding evidence from their own lawyers. This caused Judge Gertner to order that "this
matter be brought to the personal attention of the Director of the FBI [Robert Mueller]." After a bench trial, Judge
Gertner concluded this case was "about intentional misconduct, subornation of perjury, conspiracy, the framing of four
innocent men." She awarded the men and their families over $100 million in damages.
Recent
History Suggests FBI Involvement in January 6. [Scroll down] If the past is prologue, there's no reason
to consider the FBI's involvement a "conspiracy theory" rather than a solid likelihood. How many times have we been
down this road over the past five years — assured that claims about the FBI's malfeasance and abuse were
"conspiracy theories" only later to learn they were true? We were told the FBI did not use spies to infiltrate the
Trump campaign. They did. We were told the FBI didn't ambush and frame former National Security Advisor Mike
Flynn. They did. We were told the FBI would not mislead the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. They
did. We were told the FBI wouldn't doctor official reports or correspondence. They did. We were told the
FBI would never use a sketchy Russian national to bolster the collusion case against Trump. They did. Sadly, the
FBI is one of the least trustworthy agencies in the federal government — and that's saying a lot. The stench
of Jim Comey's deceitful reign has irrevocably tarnished the reputation of the FBI for tens of millions of Americans.
The similarities between Russiagate and the Capitol "attack" are becoming increasingly clear. The initial narrative
about what happened that day has steadily crumbled over the past five months.
It's
Beginning to Look Like Enemy Action. Dong Jingwei is a Chinese defector working with the Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA). He served as Vice Minister of State Security in the Chinese Ministry of Defense. Before defecting,
he was responsible for the counterintelligence efforts in China. He was in a position to know about all things
"espionage" in China and is perhaps the highest-level Chinese defector the U.S. has ever had. Even though the legacy
media is playing it down, this is a big deal. It speaks volumes that the man who knows the identity of all the Chinese
spies in our country chose to defect to the DIA and only the DIA. Further, it's reported that the DIA is not sharing the
information it's receiving with the FBI or CIA. Now why would that be?
NSA
Agrees to Release Records on FBI's Improper Spying on 16,000 Americans. The National Security Agency (NSA) has
agreed to release records on the FBI's improper spying on thousands of Americans, the secretive agency disclosed in a recent
letter. The agreement may signal a rift between the NSA and the FBI, according to attorney Ty Clevenger.
Clevenger last year filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on behalf of The Transparency Project, a Texas
nonprofit, seeking information on the FBI's improper searches of intelligence databases for information on 16,000
Americans. The searches violated rules governing how to use the U.S. government's foreign intelligence information
trove, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, an Obama nominee who currently presides over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court, wrote in a 2019 memorandum and order that was declassified last year.
How
Do We Regain Trust in the FBI? A Pew Research study released last month demonstrated a sharp decline in trust
in the government from a high of seventy-seven percent in 1964 to a low that has remained under twenty-five percent since
2007. If three-quarters of Americans have spent the last fourteen years distrusting the government at large, what does
that say about the agencies entrusted with justice and public safety? [...] The parallel between the FBI and the NKVD is not
a straight line — at least, not yet. At the same time, looking at the chronology of when Americans
suddenly lost faith in their government (2007), an eerie set of circumstances predate the decline in trust. The first
development that hastened the consolidation of power and authority in federal agencies like the FBI was the Patriot Act of
2001. It paved the way for expanded police powers in the name of public safety.
Tucker
Carlson Outlines The Primary Threat to Our Nation, The Corrupt Intelligence Apparatus Which Includes The FBI.
Tucker Carlson did an extensive monologue and interview last night as a review of the January 6th DC protest contrast against
the likelihood of FBI organization and coordination. Many are calling this a brave discussion because Carlson will
likely face backlash for the overview. As CTH has noted often, the politicization of the U.S. intelligence apparatus is
the biggest threat to our constitutional republic. In this segment Carlson arrives at the same conclusion.
Carlson used a Revolver article by Darren Beattie as the framework for the discussion. The additional examples Carlson
uses are familiar to CTH readers as we have used them before to highlight how politically corrupt the FBI has become.
Never
Ever "Cooperate" With a Federal Law Enforcement Agent. I have said it before and I will say it again. You
never, ever "cooperate" (talk) to any Federal or state law enforcement agent, period. You also do not cooperate with
any but benign and obvious local police requests, on the order of kids breaking into cars in the driveways of your
neighborhood. You may think you are being a good citizen and, maybe, their questions are legitimate and for a worthy
purpose. Maybe. But you do not know that. That professional agent may be a good, patriotic American doing
noble work, like catching Chinese spies. Maybe. But you do not know that. I have been involved in two
extremely serious "investigations" at the Federal level. I had done nothing at all wrong but one was politically driven
(from the White House) and one was driven by ambitious bureaucrats. In the first instance I got (expensive) legal help
before I hanged myself. If I had not, I would have lost my job at the very least. In the second my wife and I
were being set up for a totally false obstruction of justice charge.
Tucker
Carlson Outlines The Primary Threat to Our Nation, The Corrupt Intelligence Apparatus Which Includes The FBI.
In the bigger picture anyone with intellectual honesty would admit it is impossible for Antifa to exist if the DOJ and FBI
were functioning as a healthy part of the national law enforcement system. A few dozen arrests for transparently
obvious violence, combined with a few RICO cases against the financial systems that support Antifa and the entire violent
group essentially disappears. Therefore, it is worth just accepting the obvious: The DOJ and FBI are part of the
support structure that allows political violence to exist. I would personally take it (confidently) a step further and
say: Antifa simply could not exist without the explicit support of the DOJ/FBI.
Colonial
Pipeline attack: How did the FBI recover the ransom money? The FBI claimed it recovered millions of
dollars in Bitcoin paid as ransom during the attack against the Colonial Pipeline — a feat that is now generating
more questions than answers. The Justice Department and the FBI announced Monday [6/7/2021] it had seized 63.7 bitcoins
(worth about $2.3 million at the time) from a Bitcoin wallet thought to be controlled by cybercriminals tied to a
Russia-based collective called DarkSide, which operates off a "ransom as service" model. Recovery of the cryptocurrency
ransom from its presumably savvy holders, especially in such a short time, left many experts stunned. While many
details about the operation to recover the funds remain unclear, perhaps the biggest mystery, and the one that has so many
people scratching their heads, is how the FBI managed to get the "private key" used to unlock and pull assets from the
criminals' specific Bitcoin address.
The
Colonial Pipeline Hack, The 'Russians', & The FBI's Ransom-Grab - What Really Happened? Speculation has been
running rampant over today's FBI press conference revealing the recovery of most of the ransom paid to "Russian" hackers by
Colonial Pipeline. [...] In order for the computers that maintained the pipeline to get back to full operation, Colonial
agreed to pay a ransom in the form of 75 bitcoin, which was worth about $5 million at the time. Now, here's where
things get weird: In their triumphant statements this morning, the DOJ claimed to have seized the funds from the group
that reportedly paid DarkSide for their Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) attack on Colonial. Notably, they did not secure
the funds from DarkSide, which took a fee from the ransom in bitcoin that remains in the possession of the shadowy operation.
[...] The DOJ has historically been extremely hostile to bitcoin, labeling it as a preferred monetary system for cyber
criminals, despite bitcoin transactions being publicly available to anyone with access to the internet.
FBI built fake phone company in global wiretapping
operation of historic proportions. The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation built a fake telephone
service provider for a secret worldwide operation that officials described on Monday as "a watershed moment" in law
enforcement history. The operation, known as TROJAN SHIELD, began in 2018 and involved over 9,000 law enforcement
officers in 18 countries around the world. When the existence of TROJAN SHIELD was announced in a series of official
news conferences yesterday, officials said the operation had "given law enforcement a window into a level of criminality
[that has never been] seen before on this scale". The operation centered on the creation of an entirely fake telephone
service provider, known as ANØM. The fake firm advertised cell phones that were specially engineered to provide
peer-to-peer encryption, thus supposedly making it impossible for government authorities to decipher intercepted messages or
telephone calls between users.
USA
Today fights FBI subpoena for readers' data from report on shooting that killed two agents. USA Today is
fighting an FBI demand for information related to readers who accessed a report on the newspaper's website earlier this year
about a shooting in which two agents were killed during a search at a Florida apartment. The FBI made the request via
subpoena to USA Today's owner, Gannett, in April. The agency sought information including the IP addresses and
mobile identification information of people who accessed the Feb. 2 article about the agents during a 35-minute window.
After Gannett objected to disclosing the subpoenaed records, the FBI confirmed on May 25 it had received the response, and
the company moved to quash the subpoena as unconstitutional, according to a May 28 court filing in the U.S. District Court
for the District of Columbia.
'Slimy'
FBI bigwig sexually harassed his juniors, drank on the job. A "slimy" and "creepy" high-ranking FBI agent
groped three of his female subordinates, made inappropriate sexual comments in the workplace and regularly drank on the job,
according to documents obtained by The [New York] Post. The unidentified G-man, who worked as a supervisory assistant
special agent in charge, was investigated by the Department of Justice Inspector General's Office, which substantiated three
allegations of unwanted sexual touching and the illegal boozing, according to the documents, which were obtained through a
Freedom of Information Act request. Details about when and where the conduct took place were redacted, but the records
show the allegations were investigated by the New York Field Office and the probe was completed on Dec. 7, 2020.
The
FBI Seized Heirlooms, Coins, and Cash From Hundreds of Safe Deposit Boxes in Beverly Hills, Despite Knowing 'Some' Belonged
to 'Honest Citizens'. Dagny discovered that the FBI had seized the contents of her safe deposit
box — about $100,000 in gold and silver coins, some family heirlooms like a diamond necklace inherited from her
late grandmother, and an engagement ring she'd promised to pass down to her daughter — almost by accident.
She'd been asked by a friend to recommend a convenient and secure location for keeping some valuables. Dagny searched
Yelp to find the phone number for U.S. Private Vaults, a Beverly Hills facility where she'd rented a safe deposit box since
2017. That's when she saw the bad news. "Permanently closed." After a brief moment of panic, some phone calls,
and several days, Dagny and her husband Howard (pseudonyms used at their request to maintain privacy during ongoing legal
proceedings) figured out what happened. On March 22, the FBI had raided U.S. Private Vaults. The federal agents
were armed with a warrant allowing them to seize property belonging to the company as part of a criminal investigation —
and even though the warrant explicitly exempted the safe deposit boxes in the company's vaults, they were taken too.
More than 800 were seized.
Former
FBI Director Freeh gave $100k to a trust for VP Biden's grandkids in 2016 while exploring 'future work
options'. Take it from the New York Times and Washington Post: nothing to see here, move along.
Definitely not a bribe. Emails recovered from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop reveal that while Joe Biden was vice
president, a trust for his grandchildren — the children of his late son Beau Biden — received a hundred
thousand dollars from a foundation controlled by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who was a lawyer for 3 corrupt foreign
businessmen, later convicted and imprisoned. In the emails it is revealed that Freeh actually met with the sitting VP
in 2016 "to explore with him some future work options," in addition to courting his son Hunter for collaboration.
Former
FBI director Louis Freeh gave $100,000 to a private trust for Joe Biden's grandchildren. Former FBI director
Louis Freeh gave $100,000 to a private trust for Joe Biden's grandchildren and met with the then-Vice President in 2016 'to
explore with him some future work options', emails reveal. Freeh also spoke with then-Vice President Biden in 2016 'to
explore with him some future work options', according to the bombshell communications[.] The emails suggest Freeh was
trying to establish a future business relationship with Biden — and the White House has failed to disclose to
DailyMail.com whether Joe Biden discussed private business with Freeh while in office.
Dr.
Strawman, Or How I Learned To Stop Loving The FBI And Start Worrying. [Scroll down] Don't take my word
for it. If you search for Antifa at the FBI's website, you get one result! Now check out the MOST
WANTED/CAPITOL VIOLENCE page header. It goes on endlessly. Page after page of images captured of anyone in the
Capitol on January 6th. FBI Director Wray insists that the FBI did not use geotracking to locate anyone to the right of
Mao who was in the Capitol that day. Having worked in Telecom for twenty years, and having been involved in the
incorporation of the Enhanced 911 Systems that allow police to use cell towers and GPS to track emergency cellphone calls to
their exact location, I know Wray is lying. How else did he get the information in any legal fashion? I can stand
politicians lying to me. I've witnessed that my entire life. But for the Director of the FBI to lie to the
American people in such a low fashion, one more characteristic of John Brennan and James Clapper is a bridge too far.
Add to that the embarrassing raid on Marylin Hueper in Alaska based on a selfie. That's not an investigation unless
they have evidence I don't know about. It was a politically motivated botch that completely disrupted the lives of two
innocent Americans. Conversely, DoJ and the FBI seem determined to whitewash, equivocate, and dismiss any concerns about
Antifa and BLM, whose members have caused over two billion dollars in damage and destroyed countless businesses and lives.
FBI
quietly admits 2017 GOP baseball shooting was domestic terrorism after all. The FBI quietly admitted Friday
that the 2017 Alexandria, Virginia, baseball field shooting that nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise has been classified as
"domestic terrorism" carried out by a "domestic violent extremist" targeting Republicans after the bureau previously
classified it as "suicide by cop." The revelation appears in the middle of an appendix on page 35 of a 40-page FBI-DHS
report released on Friday titled "Security Strategic Intelligence Assessment and Data on Domestic Terrorism." In a section
describing approximately 85 different "FBI-Designated Significant Domestic Terrorism Incidents in the United States from 2015
through 2019," the Alexandria baseball field shooting appears, with the FBI categorizing the perpetrator as a "Domestic
Violent Extremist" and describing the incident thusly: "An individual with a personalized violent ideology targeted and
shot Republican members of Congress at a baseball field and wounded five people. The subject died as a result of
engagement with law enforcement."
Gas
Lines Return as Woke Deep State Fails to Stop Cyber Attack. Welcome to Jimmy Carter 2.0, to an America saddled
with a failed president and a failed Deep State whose minions worry about everything except what actually matters. The
[...] FBI and the [...] CIA have one [...] job, and that's to protect our way of life. Period. And the fastest
way to unravel our way of life — the most effective, deadly, and destructive way — is to interrupt the
free flow of oil. Therefore, outside of physical threats to American persons and property, the FBI and the CIA should
be focused almost exclusively on ensuring the energy that keeps our way of life alive is not interrupted. Well, once
again, these feckless Deep Staters have failed. Instead of being focused on stopping a VERY successful cyber-attack on
a crucial oil pipeline, these useless idiots have been focused on using the correct pronouns.
Former
police chief: If we lose the rule of law, we are going to lose America — and we're just about
there. [Scroll down] And what of the once-proud FBI? Over the past five years, we have seen that
agency, which always enjoyed a stellar reputation, get reduced to nothing but a political hit squad for the Democratic
Party. Look no further than the hit job done by the FBI on former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn if you
don't think the FBI has become a political enforcement arm for Democrats. Add to that the involvement of the FBI in
trying to take down former President Trump before he was even elected, and that agency has lost any and all credibility it
had. Sadly, there are a lot of outstanding, dedicated agents that work for that agency. However, the agency
as a whole, primarily in leadership has become a pathetic joke.
The
Full FBI Warrant Which Allowed Officers To Raid An Alaska Spa To Recover Nancy Pelosi's Laptop. The full
warrant, detailing how a dozen FBI officers ended up raiding a spa in Alaska under false pretenses, has been released.
The story first came to major national attention after The National Pulse interviewed Paul and Marilyn Hueper, whose home and
business was raided last week in an apparent case of mistaken identity. The 38 page document, below, reveals how poor a
job the FBI did in identifying a woman they say was in Speaker Pelosi's office on the afternoon of January 6th, 2021.
In summary, the warrant appears to rely on Marilyn Hueper wearing a black coat and having brunette hair as the motivations to
raid the Homer Inn and Spa in search of an HP ProBook 640 G5 i5 laptop amongst other items.
Unequal protection under the law.
The FBI and the Department of Justice cannot be trusted to administer equal justice under the law. Their actions over the last five years include:
• Operation Crossfire Hurricane investigating and hobbling President Trump on the basis of flawed intelligence paid for and manufactured by Hillary Clinton and the Democrats;
• Lying to and abusing the FISA courts to spy on Americans who supported President Trump;
• The prosecution of General Flynn and assorted Republicans who were associated with President Trump;
• The protection and non-prosecution of Hillary Clinton and her associates, Susan Rice, Hunter Biden, and the Biden crime family;
• Continuing orchestrated and illegal leaks to the media designed to damage President Trump and his supporters and bolster Democrats;
• Failure to prosecute Antifa and Black Lives Matter for a summer of riots and arson;
• Choosing to throw the prosecutorial book at the January 6 "white supremacist" "insurrectionists"
• Identifying "white supremacists" as the number one domestic terror threat when Islamic Jihadists, Antifa, and Black Lives Matter are greater threats by any rational metric;
• The recent 6 AM raid on Rudy Giuliani to obtain the electronic devices in his possession, including protected communications with his client, former President Trump, but not including the hard drives of Hunter Biden[.]
The Democratic Party's
Stasi. While reading emails in his bedroom last Wednesday morning, Paul Hueper heard a loud commotion inside
his house. Still clad in pajamas, the Alaska business owner ran to his dining room to see what was happening.
Hueper found himself face-to-face with several armed FBI agents, guns drawn, barking orders to him and his wife,
Marilyn. The agents had kicked down the front door of their home in Homer, Alaska where they also operate a day spa and
inn. The pair were quickly handcuffed along with a few houseguests, including a teenager. Paul and Marilyn, who
had attended Donald Trump's speech in Washington, D.C. on January 6 and then walked to the Capitol, were interrogated for at
least three hours by federal investigators. [...] Marilyn was told she was a suspect in the case of House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's "stolen" laptop; a few hours into the inquisition, an agent finally showed Marilyn a photo of someone inside the
Capitol on January 6 who looked like her. She told agents it wasn't her and insisted the image had been
photoshopped. The whole incident was somewhat amusing to the Huepers. "We laughed a lot of the time because it
was so ridiculous," Marilyn said. "I could hear Paul laughing in the other room." But it was far from a laughing
matter. One investigator warned Marilyn that if she didn't give the answers they were looking for, she could face
perjury and obstruction of justice charges.
House
Republicans Demand Answers from FBI on FISA Abuse Revelations. House Republicans have called on FBI Director
Christopher Wray to provide a "detailed accounting" of every instance since 2019 that the agency has used warrantless
surveillance authority to obtain information unrelated to national security, while accusing the FBI of "illegal spying
activities." Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), in a joint letter to Wray, cited a 67-page
opinion from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), which they said shows the FBI has been "seriously and
systematically abusing its warrantless electronic surveillance authority" by overstepping the limitations under section 702
of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 allows the attorney general and the director of national
intelligence to jointly authorize warrantless surveillance of non-U.S. citizens residing outside the United States, subject to
certain constraints. These include requiring investigators to adopt "targeting procedures" to make sure the information
obtained under Section 702 warrantless surveillance is indeed limited to noncitizens and to prevent the "intentional
acquisition" of communications within the United States. Section 702 also requires a FISA court order for a
review of query results in criminal investigations that aren't related to national security.
Andrew
Giuliani to Newsmax TV: Raid on Father 'Goes Right to the Top'. The FBI raid on former President Donald Trump
attorney Rudy Giuliani goes "right to the top of the White House," featuring a president going after the lawyer of his
"political adversary," according to Andrew Giuliani on Newsmax TV. "When Joe Biden says, 'I didn't know about it,' I
don't buy that," Andrew Giuliani told Monday's "Greg Kelly Reports." "I'm sorry, Greg. This is the same guy who
plagiarized. This is the same guy who's continually lied to the American people. "He may be president of the
United States, and I certainly respect the presidency, but I do not respect his word." The son of Rudy Giuliani noted
the entire Hunter Biden laptop controversy is "motive" for President Joe Biden to send his Justice Department on his
"political adversary."
The Deep State is Back.
ecently, the FBI searched Rudy Giuliani's Manhattan apartment. The search was made in connection with the prosecution
of two Ukrainian Americans for violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Giuliani is a respected lawyer,
a former federal prosecutor, and was mayor of New York during the 9/11 attacks. FARA prosecutions are rare and
typically are dealt with through fines. The use of search warrants against a lawyer is also unusual, and the Department
of Justice handbook counsels the use of some lesser means, such as subpoenas, to obtain information when possible. In
his dealings with Ukraine, Giuliani says he acted as President Trump's emissary and lawyer. These "minister without
portfolio" employments have been used before, particularly where, as in Ukraine, American government officials may themselves
be corrupt, compromised, or resistant to the president's agenda.
The
Never-ending Hunt for a Trump Crime. Was this an off-the-book operation by rogue agents? I mean, if these
people feel free to constantly leak to the press sensitive material, how far off the reservation have FBI agents gone?
Or was this shoved under the carpet as a national security matter and the DNI was responsible and kept Barr in the
dark? A mystery of significant importance. Did they have a FISA warrant to do this? If so, ever more reason
to scrap this monstrosity. If you are not yet concerned about the FBI's counterintelligence operations, its
incompetency and KGB-type operations, you just aren't paying attention.
Giuliani:
FBI Agents Refused To Take Hunter Biden's Hard Drives. During an interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson on
Thursday [4/29/2021], former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that FBI agents who came to his home with a search
warrant for "electronics" refused to take Hunter Biden's hard drives, even though they fell "within the scope of the
subpoena." "Well, about six o'clock in the morning, there was a big bang! bang! bang! on the door and outside were seven
FBI agents with a warrant for electronics," Giuliani began. "And I looked at the warrant and I said, 'This is
extraordinary because I offered to give these to the government and talk it over with them for two years.'"
The
Real Reasons Behind the Rudy Giuliani Raid. Expectations that the FBI was investigating possible crimes
documented on Hunter Biden's laptop were laid to rest earlier this week when agents raided the home and office of Rudolph
Giuliani, the man who made news of the laptop public. According to reports, federal investigators are looking for
evidence that the former Mayor of New York City violated the foreign agents registration act (FARA) by illegally lobbying on
behalf of Ukrainian officials. But that's just a pretext to search his communications and records to find something
with which to take revenge against a man who helped uncover the corruption of America's first family. The compromising
photos, emails, and texts found on Hunter's laptop include accounts of financial arrangements with a Chinese businessman he
called the "spy chief of China." The documents, confirmed by a former Biden associate, implicate other members of the Biden
clan, including it seems the president. And so to hunt Giuliani, the commander-in-chief has deployed federal law
enforcement authorities, which have their own reason to retaliate against one of the Department of Justice's most famous
former prosecutors. Giuliani helped thwart the FBI and DOJ's plot to topple an American president.
Giuliani
says FBI agents declined to take Hunter Biden's hard drives. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani during an
interview on Thursday said that FBI agents who searched his home this week declined to take Hunter Biden's hard drives.
Giuliani said that seven FBI agents showed up early Wednesday morning with a warrant for electronics. He said when he
asked them if they wanted to take Hunter Biden's hard drives, they declined. "Hunter Biden's hard drives fall within
the scope of the subpoena. The subpoena required them to take all electronics, but they decided to leave that
behind. And they also were completely content to rely on my word that these were Hunter Biden's hard drives," the
former mayor told conservative commentator Tucker Carlson during an interview on the Fox News Channel.
New
York Times, WaPo, NBC forced to retract false claims about Giuliani. The New York Times, Washington Post and
NBC News all issued retractions Saturday [5/1/2021] for their coverage of Rudy Giuliani following a raid of his Manhattan apartment by
the FBI. The Times appended their correction to a story about the role Giuliani may have played in the 2019 recall of
ambassador Marie L. Yovanovitch and whether he received a warning from the FBI about Russian disinformation. "An
earlier version of this article misstated whether Rudolph W. Giuliani received a formal warning from the F.B.I. about Russian
disinformation. Mr. Giuliani did not receive such a so-called defensive briefing," The Times wrote Saturday in a
note attached to the piece. The Washington Post's correction, on a story about prominent Americans being targeted by
Russian disinformation, was similar.
FBI
spied on Giuliani, Trump iCloud chats during impeachment hearings, says lawyer. Rudolph W. Giuliani says that
the FBI secretly spied on his Apple iCloud account beginning in late 2019 when he was having regular messaging conversations
with his client, President Trump, during House impeachment proceedings. Mr. Giuliani said the U.S. Attorney's
Office in Manhattan on Thursday informed his attorney, Robert Costello, that covert wiretapping took place. "He asked
[the prosecutor] to repeat it because he couldn't believe it was true," Mr. Giuliani said this week on the "Rita Cosby
Show" on WABC radio in New York. "To me they just trashed the president of the United States."
Washington
DC Is Paying $1.6 Million In Settlements To Rioters At Trump's Inauguration. The double standard of justice
continues. Washington D.C. is going to pay $1.6 million in settlements to those who were arrested for rioting at
Trump's inauguration. According to lawsuits filed protesters were arrested without cause and excessive force was used.
[...] Trump supporters who were at the capitol on January 6th are not getting the same treatment. While they do nothing
about the crimes committed by the deep state and radical left they are targeting every Trump supporter. The FBI is now
focusing in on a Grandmother who just walked through the U.S. Capitol!
FBI
raid on innocent couple shows lawlessness at Department of Justice. Wednesday's rogue FBI raid on an innocent
couple in Homer is an example of what happens when a lawless and completely illegitimate political party and administration
come to power. The Democrats are utilizing the proven techniques of communism and fascism, and weaponizing federal law
enforcement for political purposes. They are now reaping the fruits of the November's fake election. Its
aftermath spells the end of freedom in America. It is no longer a threat. It is here, and none of us are
safe. Paul and Marilyn Hueper went to DC on Jan. 6 to listen to Donald Trump's speech. Like other Alaskans, they
were at the very foot of the stage and in front of a million people in the Washington Mall, but when they were dismissed by
Trump to "Peacefully and patriotically protest", they suddenly found themselves at the back of a very long line. They
got lost, they bought a hot dog, they started up the steps, but they never got within a hundred yards of entering the capitol building.
Feds
serve search warrant at Alaska resort: 'We're here for Nancy Pelosi's laptop'. Federal agents served a search
warrant at a boutique resort in Homer, Alaska, saying they were looking for a laptop stolen from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's
office during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, one of the Homer Inn and Spa owners said.
FBI
breaks into Homer, Alaska house, looking for Nancy Pelosi's laptop. A couple in Homer, Alaska reports the FBI
raided their home on Wednesday morning looking for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's laptop. Twelve agents, FBI, Capitol
Police, and other apparent police agents, broke down the door to their home and told Marilyn and Paul Hueper to put their
hands up. Paul counted seven guns trained on him when he came out of the bedroom. The agents cuffed the couple
and held them for hours. It was a case of mistaken identity, but the FBI now has possession of Marilyn's HP Probook
laptop. The photo above [not shown here] is on the FBI website as a person of interest in the January 6 surge into
the U.S. Capitol, during which Pelosi's laptop was stolen. The photo above is of the woman the FBI is looking for.
Marilyn has no real social media presence or photos online.
Giuliani
claims materials seized by FBI are 'exculpatory' evidence. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said
Thursday he "never ever represented any foreign national" after the FBI raided his apartment and seized his electronic
devices earlier this week. Giuliani, who served as former President Donald Trump's personal attorney, has reportedly
been eyed by federal authorities over whether he illegally lobbied the previous administration in 2019 on behalf of Ukrainian
officials and oligarchs while searching for damaging information on Trump's political rivals, including President Joe Biden,
then the leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. He told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday
that seven FBI agents knocked on his door at 6 a.m. on Wednesday serving a warrant for electronics, adding he told federal
agents: "This is extraordinary because I've offered to give these to the government and talk it over them for two years."
"I could have destroyed the evidence years ago," Giuliani said, but he claimed that he didn't because the evidence is "exculpatory"
and proves himself, Trump, and "all of us are innocent."
Rudy
Giuliani responds to FBI search warrant raid and goes on the offensive. The highly publicized early morning
raid on the apartment and office of Rudy Giuliani, the personal lawyer of the 45th President of the United States, was an
outrage. Thanks to a 10+ minute interview last night on Tucker Carlson Tonight, the nation's highest-rated cable
news program, we have a better grasp of the dimensions of the scandalous behavior of the Department of Justice.
[Video clip] I urge readers to view the entire interview if they did not see it on the broadcast. It is
embedded below. Keep in mind that before he was Mayor of New York, he was the United States Attorney for the Southern
District of New York, the very office that is now conducting the investigation targeting him. He therefore knows the
ins and outs of all aspects of federal prosecution, including the execution of search warrants.
The
dark night of fascism has finally landed in the United States. On Wednesday [4/28/2021], Federal agents flashing
open-ended warrants conducted a 6 a.m. raid on former New York mayor current Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to seize his
electronics. The ostensible reason was that Giuliani violated a law requiring Americans who represent foreign nationals
to register as foreign agents. This is a law that is enforced only against Republicans close to Trump — and
Giuliani is adamant that he's never represented foreign nationals. The agents ostentatiously refused to seize copies of
Hunter Biden's hard drives, which Giuliani possessed, even though they were obvious electronic devices. Giuliani
contends that the hard drives' contents establish not only that Hunter and Joe Biden acted as unregistered foreign agents,
but also that Joe Biden and his family took millions in bribes over the years and that Hunter Biden was engaged in child
pornography. Since Giuliani still has the hard drives, perhaps he should make all the information on the drives public.
[...] On the evidence available, what's happening to Giuliani looks like typical fascism: an incoming regime uses
unequally applied law and a complete absence of due process to purge all political opposition.
The raid on Rudy.
Never mind that Biden was, himself, guilty of quid pro quo, having said openly that he would withhold money from the
Ukrainian government unless the investigation of Burisma was halted. So, though complaints against Giuliani and company
had been lodged by Democrats many months ago, it took a Biden presidency to see to it that Rudy was humiliated by an FBI
"home invasion" reminiscent of the harrowing one launched against another elderly Trump associate, Roger Stone. In that
early morning raid covered by tipped-off CNN, Roger and his frail wife feared for their safety. It would seem that the
Federal Bureau of Investigation is capable — or willing — to thwart only old conservative men.
They haven't bothered to breach the walls of the sprawling Clinton compound in Chappaqua for incriminating evidence in the
matter of the faux dossier by Christopher Steele, financed by the DNC with funds from Hillary's campaign. Nor have they
bothered to bust into the fashionable Los Angeles digs of Hunter Biden, perhaps rummaging through his steel straws and
various "extraneous" laptops to find evidence of his sweetheart deals with the wife of a Moscow mayor and a lending
institution in China.
Declassified FISA
Opinion Shows More FBI Abuses. A FISA Court opinion and order declassified today reveals continued FBI abuses
of "raw FISA-acquired information." After a DOJ National Security Division review, the FISA Court noted "the FBI's failure to
properly apply its querying standard when searching Section 702-acquired information was more pervasive than was previously
believed." This opinion includes these findings: April 2019 - July 2019: An FBI technical information specialist
was involved in "Compliance incidents" by conducting 124 queries of Section 702-acquired information on (1) Volunteers who
had requested to participate in the FBI's "Citizens Academy"; (2) Persons who needed to enter the field office to perform
repairs; and (3) Persons who reported they were victims of a crime.
FISA
court doc shows FBI looked for domestic terrorists without warrants, report. The FBI has without court orders
looked through troves of National Security Agency foreign communications for information on American "racially motivated
violent extremists," according to a news report based on a recently declassified report. The agency conducted the
reviews despite being warned several years ago by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which approves warrants for
such investigations, that such inquiries were constitutionally alarming, according to the Daily Beast. The FBI's
warrant-free queries, known as backdoor searches, were related to criminal investigations including those on "domestic
terrorism involving racially motivated violent extremists."
The Editor says...
Why limit the search to those who are racially motivated? Aren't other motivations just as dangerous? Terrorists
motived by Islam, for example. Antifa terrorists motivated by anti-capitalism. Eco-terrorists motivated by
militant environmentalism. In general, violence and hate speech come from the left.
Capitol
Rally Attendee Says FBI Interviewed Her About Jan. 6 Tweets; Were Embarrassed About Having to Investigate 'Stupid'
Tips. A media influencer who attended the Trump rally in Washington DC on January 6, says two FBI agents came
to her home to investigate a couple of tweets she posted on that day. In one tweet, she had joked that she was
"storming the Capitol." In the other tweet she had apparently responded a troll. Dr. Karlyn Borysenko said she was
out of town at the time, and the agents spoke with her husband. When she got back, she said that she arranged to have
an attorney present with her for the FBI interview, which she found out would be about her experience at the Capitol on
January 6. The FBI agents, she said, were apologetic, and told her that they were having to investigate a lot of
tips from people that "seem stupid."
FBI
turn to high-tech facial recognition, undercover operations to nab Capitol invaders. The number of U.S. Capitol
invaders charged with crimes has topped 400, Justice Department records show, and in a recent case the FBI disclosed new
twists in identifying and ensnaring a suspect. A Washington Times review of scores of law enforcement affidavits
justifying an arrest show this pattern: Agents examine thousands of videos and photos taken inside the Capitol on Jan. 6.
In old-school detective work, officers pick out a target and compare Capitol images to online posts from that day or
previous days based on tips from the invaders' friends, co-workers and even family. To seal the deal, FBI agents openly
approach the suspect in a phone call or home visit. The targets in many cases readily admit to their actions. It
is difficult to deny wronging when caught on camera.
FBI
Labels 2017 Baseball Field Shooting by Deranged Leftist that Nearly Killed GOP Rep. Scalise a "Suicide by
Cop". The FBI is a total disgrace. The FBI labeled the 2017 baseball field shooting that nearly killed
GOP Rep. Steve Scalise a "suicide by cop" — this was recently revealed during an exchange with a GOP
lawmaker. GOP Rep Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, and two Capitol Police were shot during baseball practice in
June of 2017. Scalise was shot in the hip and tried to drag himself off the field after he was shot. The shooter,
James Hodgkinson, was a Bernie supporter and Russian collusion truther who was radicalized by the Democrat-media complex
because of their lies about Trump and the GOP. Rather than labeling the shooting of Republicans by a left-wing Bernie
supporter "domestic terrorism," the FBI labeled it a "suicide by cop."
Representative
Markwayne Mullin Confronts FBI Director Christopher Wray About Difference Between Prosecuting Capitol Hill Protestors vs
BLM/ANTIFA Violence. Rep. Markwayne Mullin took his opportunity to question FBI Director Cristopher Wray
by asking the FBI Director about the double standard in investigating/prosecuting Capitol rioters vs the Black Lives Matter
and Antifa rioters in DC and Portland. Rep Mullin smartly uses the example of federal officers who have been attacked,
assaulted and injured by Antifa and BLM, yet the FBI does nothing to investigate or prosecute these violent extremists.
Mullin even quoted Wray back to himself when the FBI Director said: "Antifa is not a national organization", a quote
Director Wray now stunningly denies.
FBI
Director Wray Refuses To Disclose If Antifa Has Organized Finances To Launch Coordinated Attacks. Federal
Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray refused to disclose whether Antifa has the capability to organize, receive
funding, and coordinate attacks during the House Intelligence Committee's annual public World Wide Threats Hearing on
Thursday [4/15/2021]. Wray began his answer about Antifa by declaring it is a "real thing." "There are certainly
local and regional nodes, individuals who self-identify with Antifa and commit violent attacks, citing that as their
motivation, and we have a number of predicate investigations into such individuals and Antifa is a real thing. It's not
a fiction," Wray admitted, despite Democrats and their media allies previously calling Antifa a "myth." When pressed by
Republican Rep. Michael Turner of Ohio about the organizing, training, and financing of Antifa, however, Wray was
reluctant to divulge information.
FBI
says it interviewed FedEx mass shooter last year. FBI agents last year interviewed the gunman who fatally shot
eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis, the bureau said Friday, as investigators searched the home of the
19-year-old former FedEx employee. Coroners began the slow process of identifying the victims as family members spent
hours agonizing over word of their loved ones. The slayings Thursday night marked the latest in a string of recent mass
shootings to rock the U.S.
GOP
House member grills Wray on double standard of Capitol and Portland rioter prosecutions. Rep. Markwayne
Mullin took aim at FBI Director Cristopher Wray during a House Select Committee on Intelligence hearing, questioning what he
sees as the FBI's double standard in prosecuting Capitol rioters and those in Portland. "Under the Biden
administration, there appears to be a wave of leniency being granted to individuals arrested for federal crimes in Portland,"
Mullin, a Republican from Oklahoma, said during the hearing. "Federal prosecutors are apparently approving deferred
resolution agreements in a number of cases and allowing perpetrators to do community service and avoid jail time and criminal
records. Why are we seeing such a disparity between the individuals charged on Jan. 6 and those that are charged in
Portland?" Wray at first responded by pinning the blame on local prosecutors, noting that the FBI only investigates the
crimes but does not make decisions about prosecution.
The
FBI might have gone ahead and fixed your Microsoft email server. Not updating your critical software? The
FBI might just do it for you. The FBI has begun quietly accessing hundreds of American computers hacked through
Microsoft's Exchange email program, removing malicious code that the hackers left behind. The operation, which the
Department of Justice announced Tuesday [4/13/2021] it had authorized with a warrant, highlights the severity of the Exchange
vulnerability, which allowed scores of hackers to break into organizations since the beginning of the year. But it also
raises concerns about the FBI's jurisdiction when remedying cyberattacks against Americans.
'Skilled
predator' allowed to retire from FBI with no punishment and full benefits after Justice Department substantiates 8 sexual
harassment claims: report. James Hendricks quietly retired last year as a special agent in charge, but not
before colleagues labeled him a "skilled predator" and the Justice Department's internal watchdog found that his behavior
marked one of the FBI's most egregious known cases of sexual misconduct. According to the Associated Press, Hendricks
was among several senior FBI officials who avoided discipline — and retired with full benefits — even
after claims of sexual misconduct against them were substantiated. Hendricks' alleged sexual harassment was outlined in
a 52-page report obtained by the AP under the Freedom of Information Act . Although his name is blacked out in the report, he
was identified by law enforcement officials familiar with his case, the AP reported.
The
FBI / DOJ is MIA on Hunter Biden, Seth Rich, Anthony Weiner laptops. The FBI and DOJ have been missing in
action for years. Failing in disclosing and acting on the information in the Hunter Biden, Seth Rich, and Anthony
Weiner laptops. The two-tiered system of American justice has never been more hypocritical on display. Democrats
and the deep state lie, cover-up and protect the likes of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, and the Biden crime
family. Yet the full weight and power of the government are brought against any Republican connected to Donald
Trump. The story of the Hunter Biden, Seth Rich, and Anthony Weiner laptops is a tale of just how debased and corrupt
our Government institutions and modern media have become.
FBI's
political jihad against American white whales. When it all began, the FBI just had "a couple of questions."
Because John is a law-abiding, pro-cop kind of patriotic American citizen, he willingly answered their questions. No,
he told them, he was not at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. He was, he told them, at work. He provided the proof that
he was at work to their field office in Rockville. All of this was as if there is something inherently nefarious or
illegal about a political gathering of citizens at the United States Capitol to petition their federal government. The
FBI agents produced no evidence that John had committed any crime, caused any disturbance or trespassed against anyone.
"I supported President Trump in the 2020 election," John told me. "I put up signs in my yard, but I have never been
involved in any kind of rioting or vandalism." But the FBI questions did not end with his whereabouts on Jan. 6.
That was only the beginning. In the weeks since they first banged on the door of his home, agents have continued pestering
him, demanding answers and threatening him.
The
FBI is very good at woke politics, not so good at catching killers. After the horrendous Colorado shooting last
week, we learned that the alleged shooter, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, had a record of violence and arrests. His brother
described him as mentally ill, paranoid and "very anti-social." He was also on the FBI's radar because of someone with whom
he associated. In this, Alissa joins a long list of "known-wolf" killers, including Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter;
the Tsarnaev brothers, who conducted the Boston Marathon bombing; Omar Mateen, the Pulse nightclub shooter in Florida; and
some of the 9/11 hijackers. The FBI's failure to catch that last set of perpetrators is especially enraging —
and shows the agency has been atrophying for a long time. "For two and a half weeks before the attacks," as Slate noted,
"the US government knew the names of two hijackers. It knew they were al-Qaeda killers and that they were already in the
United States."
The
Matt Gaetz Leak Makes the FBI Look Really Stupid and Corrupt. Last night, amidst a slew of far more important
stories, The New York Times sought to change the narrative from the disaster at the border by leaking about a supposed
investigation involving Rep. Matt Gaetz. The report was based on anonymous sources giving very vague information
about what might or might not be going on. RedState covered this initially last night, and if Gaetz actually did
something wrong, he should be held accountable. [...] For his part, Gaetz denies the claims. He went on Tucker
Carlson's show last night and named a person he alleges is trying to extort him. Later, RedState confirmed that Gaetz
was telling the truth about his father wearing a wire for the FBI to investigate the matter. Where that leaves us is
anyone's guess. Gaetz is certainly a character, and his defense is a bit convoluted, but the fact that this was leaked
via "three people briefed" is yet another black-eye for the FBI.
FBI
Raids Home of Young Female Christian Volunteer at 4 AM in Texas — For Walking Through US Capitol in January with
Her Boyfriend. We received this information last week. And now the story is making national news.
Young female Christian volunteer Elizabeth Rose Williams was arrested last Tuesday by the FBI. As of this writing, her
family has not heard from her. Elizabeth was scooped up by FBI agents in an early morning raid at her home in Ingram,
Texas. The FBI waited until 4-6 AM to raid this Christian woman's home.
An
FBI so corrupt it lets mass shooters rampage needs to go. The New York Times reported on March 27 that
Syrian-born Colorado mass shooter Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa had been on the FBI's radar before he murdered 10 people in a grocery
store. "The suspect's identity was previously known to the F.B.I. because he was linked to another individual under
investigation by the bureau, according to law enforcement officials," the Times says. [...] It seems the FBI is not very good
at this "stopping mass shooters" thing. This is not an anomaly in the FBI's history. It in fact appears to be a
pattern of negligence. During the Barack Obama presidency, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., grilled FBI Director James Comey
about the "known wolf" problem — of 14 Islamist attacks in the U.S. during Obama's tenure, the FBI had been aware
of at least 12 before the violence erupted, and did nothing. For example, the 2009 Fort Hood shooter, who killed 13;
the Boston Marathon bombers of 2013 who killed three and injured 264; and the Pulse nightclub shooter who killed 49 people
and wounded 53 more. All were known to the FBI and several had been interviewed by the FBI before they went on killing
sprees. The FBI had also been warned numerous times about the Parkland, Florida school shooter, before he killed 17 and
injured 17 more in 2018. It also knew beforehand about the 2018 Nashville, Tennessee Waffle House shooter, who killed
four and injured two more, and the 2020 Nashville RV bomber.
Meet
the Russiagate Prober Who Couldn't Verify Anything in the Steele Dossier Yet Said Nothing for Years. For the
past four years, Democrats and the Washington media have suspended disbelief about the Steele dossier's credibility by
arguing that some Russia allegations against Donald Trump and his advisers have been corroborated and therefore the most
explosive charges may also be true. But recently declassified secret testimony by the FBI official in charge of
corroborating the dossier blows up that narrative. The top analyst assigned to the FBI's Russia "collusion" case,
codenamed Crossfire Hurricane, admitted under oath that neither he nor his team of half a dozen intelligence analysts could
confirm any of the allegations in the dossier — including ones the FBI nonetheless included in several warrant
applications as evidence to establish legal grounds to electronically monitor a former Trump adviser for almost a year.
FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten made the admission under questioning by staff investigators for the Senate
Judiciary Committee during closed-door testimony in October.
Colorado,
the Rocky Mountain Shooting Gallery. Another mass shooting occurred this past week in Colorado, a state that
had more than its share of similar shootings over the past few decades. [...] [The shooter] was already known to the FBI,
"linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau" according to the New York Times. Yet this happened
under the FBI's noses. Perhaps they were busy with other important cases. Like the 50 plus agents investigating
Trump-Russia collusion, spying on the Trump campaign and administration. Or the dozen plus agents sent urgently to
investigate a NASCAR garage door handle with a loop that someone thought might resemble a noose. As The Last Refuge
points out, this is yet another of many potential terrorism-related mass shootings where the shooter is known to the FBI, yet
they did nothing to prevent the shooting. If only the shooter were a garage door handle, then the FBI might have
investigated seriously and might have actually preempted the mass casualty event.
So
the FBI knew all about the Colorado shooter.... What, exactly, are the taxpayers paying for in the highly
politicized and loaded-for-money wokester FBI these days? The recent mass-shooting out of Colorado, from a
murder-spewing freak they knew about, would suggest nothing. While they were out there busy looking for 'white
supremacists' this admitted refugee from Syria was making plans to kill. And he's not the first. [...] The prevalence
of spray-shooters ought to leave the FBI no time for political persecutions that benefit only Democrats. They need
focus now on real threats and be on the hot seat if they don't.
FBI
Knew Boulder, Colorado, Suspect Identity Prior to Shooting. A reminder: 50 FBI agents were enlisted within
the Trump-Russia investigation to push a narrative. 13 FBI agents were dispatched to Talladega speedway to investigate a
garage pull-down rope and push a narrative. Thousands of FBI hours have been spent investigating the January 6th
Washington DC protest, and once again another terrorist carries out a mass shooting where the FBI knew the suspect in
advance. The FBI knew in advance the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local
sheriff. The FBI knew in advance the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance the
Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance the Garland, Texas,
shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi). The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz).
The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan); and now the FBI knew in advance of Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa.
[...] Meanwhile the political FBI agents chase the ghosts of mysteriously invisible white supremacists conducting random acts
of unidentified racism.
Report:
Boulder Mass Shooting Suspect 'Previously Known to FBI'. Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, the suspected gunman in a
mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado, on Monday, was reportedly previously known to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
because of his ties to another person under investigation. The New York Times reported Tuesday evening [3/23/2021]:
"The suspect's identity was previously known to the F.B.I. because he was linked to another individual under investigation
by the bureau, according to law enforcement officials."
Senator
Accuses FBI Of Running 'Fake' Brett Kavanaugh Background Check. U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode
Island) sent a letter to newly-sworn in U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland asking for his support to investigate the
Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) background check of U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh before he
was confirmed. Whitehouse told Garland in the letter that he thought the FBI's investigation into allegations of
misconduct by Kavanaugh was "fake" and compromised by partisan politics, CBS News reported. "It cannot and should not
be the policy of the FBI to not follow up on serious allegations of misconduct during background check investigations,"
Whitehouse wrote.
FBI
Uses SWAT Tactical Team, Armored Vehicles and Armed Troops to Arrest Man Who Attended January 6 Capitol Hill
Protest. Just as the FBI used a heavily armed tactical SWAT team to arrest Roger Stone, the FBI deployed the
same tactics in Naples, Florida to arrest a man who attended the January 6th DC protest march. Military tactics,
armored vehicles, automatic rifles and a no-knock raid. Essentially the FBI continues to send a message to the larger
electorate. They use these aggressive tactics against people based on their politics. There are no honorable
"rank and file" in the modern FBI; the entire institution is compromised. This stuff is nuts.
Will
FBI 'Chats' Send Conservatives to Prison? Across the nation, FBI agents are swooping down upon conservative
activists, Trump supporters, and anyone suspected of any tie to the January 6 clash at the Capitol. Conservative author
Candace Owens tweeted on March 3: "About 10 of my friends who attended Trump's speech but DID NOT go to Capitol building
thereafter have had the FBI turn up at their door to ask them why they went to D.C. ... Our FBI is trying to scare conservatives
against ever gathering in the future." Actually, the potential problem is far worse for people targeted by the feds.
FBI chief Christopher Wray, who is scrambling to deliver the indictments that will please his congressional overlords, says the
agency is conducting 2,000 domestic terrorism investigations. Few Americans recognize how badly the legal playing field is
tilted against them. When FBI agents knock on their doors, many Americans won't hesitate to open up because they assume
"those who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear." But along with Bureau procedures that are a travesty of due process,
the FBI is exploiting a sweeping law that criminalizes casual comments. Federal agents have the right to lie to you and to
put you in prison if you lie to them. Any citizen who makes even a single-word ("no" or "yes") false utterance to a federal
agent faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
FBI
Sends in Armored Vehicle with Turret, 2 Vans, 6 FBI Vehicles, 3 Local Police Vehicles to Arrest Young Father Who Attended
Jan. 6 Rally. Joshua James was arrested this week and is being charged in connection to the violent events of
January 6th in Washington D.C. Joshua James is an Iraq War veteran. He was wounded in a bomb blast in Iraq.
And Joshua is being held by the FBI without bail. Joshua is the breadwinner in his family. He receives retirement
pay from the military. He has three young children including a 3-year-old. [...] The FBI lured him out of his home in
Alabama by pretending to be a customer needing a pressure washing. Then an Army armored vehicle with a turret on top, 2
FBI vans, 6 FBI vehicles, 3 local police and sheriff's vehicles pulled up and ransacked their home.
FBI's
Ridiculous "Capitol Siege Pipe Bomb" Video Is An All-Out Assault on Common Sense. This week, the FBI released
video footage of their key suspect in the vaunted "pipe bombs planted at DNC and GOP offices" plot from the MAGA Capitol
protests of 1/6. Much is riding on this "pipe bomb" plot being legit, because the "armed insurrection" narrative is
falling apart without it. Just last week, the FBI confessed to Congress — and not without prodding from
Senator Ron Johnson — that no guns had actually been recovered or confiscated on Capitol grounds. [...] With the
"Guns at Capitol" meme down, only two serious, terroristic plots implicating MAGA on 1/6 remain. One is the "guns &
bombs stashed in cars and outside the city" plots, principally related to the Oath Keepers, which has been the subject of an
exhaustive forthcoming Revolver News investigation; the other is this eagerly-hyped "pipe bomb" plot. So this "pipe
bomb" plot better be real, and it better be the authentic act of a genuine Trump supporter, or basically all they have left
is the strange case of the "Oath Keepers" — and we will tell you in advance that is not looking pretty for The
Narrative or the FBI.
Did
the FBI steal tons of Civil War gold? The tale starts in the 1860s when legend has it that a large wagon full
of gold bullion was either stolen or "went missing" in a remote area of western Pennsylvania. The shipment had
supposedly been on its way to the mint in Philadelphia but it never arrived. This has led any number of would-be
treasure hunters to scour the forests in that region looking for a massive payday. The amount of gold was rumored to be
between seven and nine tons, making it worth hundreds of millions of dollars today. But all efforts to locate it had
come up empty. That might have changed in 2018. A father and son team named Parada who co-own the treasure-hunting
outfit Finders Keepers were investigating a remote part of Elks County called Dent's Run. [...] Now, however, through FOIA
requests and court orders, the FBI has released at least some emails on the subject and it certainly sounds like they know
more about the story than they've been letting on.
The Editor says...
The FBI always knows more than it reveals. The lesson to be learned from this story — if it's true,
and it appears to be — is simple: You can't trust the FBI.
Democrats
renew calls to remove J. Edgar Hoover's name from FBI building. Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push
to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's name from the bureau's downtown Washington headquarters, according to an
interview released Monday [3/8/2021]. Appearing on Yahoo! News' Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said
the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI's secret program to discredit civil
rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats' bid to strip the longtime FBI director's name
from the bureau's headquarters.
FBI
Took Possession of Suspicious Ballots in Georgia in Early January and Ordered Them Destroyed With a Shredder.
The Gateway Pundit reported on January 9th that the FBI in Georgia stepped in and shut down the forensic analysis of shredded
ballots, took the ballots away from the forensic team, and brought them back to the shredder to destroy the evidence.
Today we have more on this incident from two sources. This story was first reported by Patrick Byrne, the former CEO of
Overstock.com. He reported on Twitter that the Deep State was stealing evidence in Georgia related to the 2020
Election: [...] We now have more information regarding this incident from individuals with knowledge of the events.
This all started when a shredding company was hired to come in and shred election material. When the truck arrived at
the scene, the material asked to be shredded turned out to be ballots and other official records from the 2020
election. The company began shredding the material into little balls which are basically impossible to piece back
together once they are shredded in that manner.
Can We
Reform an FBI that Behaves Like a Gestapo? Short answer — I doubt it. But it is a legitimate
question to raise because there are still some patriots serving within the ranks of the FBI who are beyond distraught over
the gross politicization of their once proud, respected organization. Some of the men and women with 20 years in are
simply counting days and hours until they can punch out. There is genuine, deep seated hatred for Christopher Wray and
his coterie of lackeys eager to suckle on the teat of the Deep State. The final straw for many in the bureau is the
dishonest response to the January 6 swarm at the U.S. Capitol. For starters, the FBI had intelligence about Antifa's
plans to infiltrate the crowds of Trump supporters and incite violence. But the FBI also was manipulating some of the
very groups labeled as "white supremacists", e.g. the Proud Boys.
Twenty
days of infamy: the January 2017 red flags the FBI blew past on Russia collusion. From its earliest moments,
the FBI's Russia collusion probe was always fraught with warning signs. Agents were told Christopher Steele provided
faulty information, had likely been compromised by Russian intel disinformation, wanted to defeat Donald Trump, had leaked to
the media and was being paid by Hillary Clinton, who herself might be carrying out an epic dirty political trick to vilify
Trump with false information to distract from her own scandals. Those intelligence reports alone should have given
agents pause. The fact that Steele had been terminated by the FBI as an informant for leaking also should have weighed
heavily. But if ever there were red lights screaming for the FBI to end the counterintelligence probe, they were
flashing during a harrowing 20-day window in January 2017 as Barack Obama was leaving office and Trump was coming in.
Between Jan. 4, 2017 and Jan. 24, 2017, nearly every major assumption of the FBI's Russia collusion theory was gutted,
according to recently declassified evidence reviewed by Just the News.
FBI
criminal complaint on Capitol incursion used Photoshopped 4-chan hoax picture as evidence. Just when you
thought the FBI couldn't fall any further, the Bureau utterly, hilariously, and luridly beclowns itself. In a formal
document, a criminal charge. Using a Photoshopped picture from 4-chan, the reviled (by all people who abhor wrongthink)
website where a wag substituted a lurid picture for the official portrait hanging on the wall of the US Capitol in the
background of a shot of the Viking horn helmet guy and others who stormed in on January 6, 2021. [...] This is so sloppy a
job that it suggests extreme pressure to act in haste. That need for speed, of course, is the excuse used by Kevin
Clinesmith to explain away his lying to a federal court — and the judge in question, James Boasberg, bought it and
let him off with no prison time, a $100 fine and community service. I am so old that I remember when the FBI was adored
by the media and most of the citizenry other than communists. And J. Edgar Hoover's insistence on getting the details
right was legendary.
FBI
Used A Photo-Shopped Version Of A Photo From The Capitol Protest In Their Criminal Complaint. Brian P. McCreary
was arrested Thursday for being part of the mob that breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. In a statement given
voluntarily to the FBI, McCreary said he was frustrated by the outcome of the presidential election and had traveled to
Washington, D.C., where he listened to former President Donald Trump urge his supporters to take their grievances to the
Capitol. And so he did, according to authorities, joining a march from the White House, at times scurrying along side
streets to get ahead of the growing crowd and arriving among the first rioters to reach and invade the Capitol
building. The 33-year-old Domino's Pizza employee is pictured inside the Capitol alongside the horn-headed QAnon Shaman
on January 6.
FBI Includes Unusual 4Chan
Photoshopped Image in Complaint Against Capitol Rioter. We've seen a lot of problems over the last few years
with the FBI. Former director James Comey turned it into a political mess that targeted President Donald Trump, even
using false information weaponized and paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton's team. You even had people lying and
changing emails to target a Trump adviser, Carter Page. Christopher Wray didn't solve the problems when he came
in. Now the FBI seems to be going all out to go after people who were in the Capitol on Jan. 6. As we reported
last night, federal authorities even seem to be getting the help of Bank of America to get the private information of
thousands, if not millions of people, who had nothing to do with it and were not allegedly involved in any way.
The
FBI's Campaign Against Some Rightwing Groups Looks Exactly Like J. Edgar Hoover's COINTELPRO Scandal. [Scroll
down] For the past four years, we've been appalled by the FBI and the Intelligence Community working hand-in-glove to
insert informers into a presidential campaign and transition team. We saw an obviously faked dossier laundered by the
CIA and FBI through press leaks to create the pretext for a special counsel. Over the past month, I've posted about the
alarming pattern of "militia" and "extremist" arrests with a common thread. A group meets. Someone in the group
brings up the bright idea to commit a federal felony. Discussion ensues. An outsider with the means to carry out
the felony is introduced to the group. Some inciting act is taken, like purchasing an illegal device, and the FBI
descends on the group. There is a press conference and indictments and much blathering about the enemy within and the
danger of extremists. [...] You have groups opposed in some fundamental way to the direction the elites want the nation to
go. They are targeted for no other reason than their dissent. From there, it is a short jump to creating facts
that enable law enforcement to suppress that dissent. [...] If federal law enforcement continues to push informants and
provocateurs into otherwise peaceful organizations and engage in what a layperson would characterize as entrapment, then they
build a case for having entire groups labeled as violent extremists. As we saw in the aftermath of the Capitol riot,
that kind of labeling can be used to prevent people from traveling (the 'no-fly" list). It can keep them from renting
housing (AirBNB canceling reservations). It can get financial institutions to make it impossible to use a credit card
or other payment system. And on and on.
Proud Boys
Leader Outed as Long Time FBI Snitch and He's the Tip of the Iceberg. On Friday [1/29/2021], the Justice
Department announced the indictment of two members of the "Proud Boys" stemming from their conversations before the riot at
the US Capitol on January 6. [...] I'm sort of amazed by the way Justice has set out to criminalize membership in this
organization by the amount of play they give to the logos and trying to portray the group as misogynistic and, possibly,
white supremacist. What is missing from this story is the extent to which the Proud Boys have been penetrated by the FBI.
'Lawyer
up, and get out': FBI first spurned Hunter Biden laptop, says Delaware tech repairman. John Paul Mac Isaac, the
Delaware computer shop owner who unwittingly came into possession of Hunter Biden's laptop, says an FBI agent initially gave
a stern warning to his family when first offered a copy of the explosive evidence about Joe Biden's son: "You better
lawyer up and get out of my office." In a wide-ranging interview Monday with Just the News, Isaac described what
concerned him most about the contents on the laptop, his extensive efforts to get authorities in law enforcement and Congress
to pay attention to it and his anger at the news media, Democrats and even security officials who initially accused him of
carrying out a Russian disinformation campaign or trying to make money off the discovery. U.S. intelligence has
determined the laptop contents — now in the hands of the FBI and Congress and part of a criminal tax
case — were not Russian disinformation. Isaac said he never took a dime for providing the materials to the
FBI, Congress and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, not even when offered reimbursement for the hard drive equipment he used to
make copies.
Censorship
Goes Official: House Democrats are Now Urging FBI to Investigate Parler. The social media app known as
Parler took a heavy blow when it had its entire website ripped out from under it due to Amazon pulling it off its servers
following the riot at the Capitol. Parler is now getting back on its feet, but now it has a new foe, the United States
Government. According to Fox News, the House Oversight Committee's top Democrat, Carlyn Maloney, is attempting to sic
the FBI on Parler, claiming that it was the platform that made the riot possible. Not only that, but she's also
claiming that it's a possible breeding ground for foreign countries to incite sedition.
House
Oversight chair asks FBI to investigate Parler. Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, House Committee on Oversight and
Reform chair, on Thursday requested the FBI to investigate the social media platform Parler and any role it may have played
in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. The New York Democrat wrote a letter to FBI Director Christopher A. Wray
to ask that he investigate Parler, which was a platform that became popular with Trump supporters that felt unwelcome on larger
social media apps such as Twitter and Facebook. "I am writing to request that as part of its comprehensive investigation
of the January 6 assault on the Capitol, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conduct a robust examination of the role that
the social media site Parler played in the assault, including as a potential facilitator of planning and incitement related to
the violence, as a repository of key evidence posted by users on its site, and as a potential conduit for foreign governments
who may be financing civil unrest in the United States," Ms. Maloney said in the letter.
FBI,
Justice Department knew there was no Russia collusion by spring of 2017. The top Justice Department official in
early 2017 overseeing the FBI's Russia probe testified he was briefed as many as six times on its status and was told there
was no evidence of Trump campaign collusion, a newly released transcript shows. The testimony of Dana J. Boente is
significant because during this time the FBI took major steps to expand the probe. And President Trump in May ended up
firing then-FBI Director James Comey, a stunning move that led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller and two
years of a White House under constant criminal scrutiny.
FBI
Putting a Whole Lot More Effort Than It Did With BLM White House Rioters. I don't have a problem with arresting
people who break the law. I do have a huge problem with selective prosecution and enforcement. When Black Lives
Matter mobs besieged Washington D.C., attacked the White House, assaulted Secret Service members, vandalized national
monuments, and set a church on fire, the Attorney General had to lean hard just to get the most basic arrests and
prosecutions going. (It goes without saying that none of the rioters were fired.) And the media played defense for
the rioters and feigned outrage at criminalizing "protest". By September, the DOJ had managed to charge just 300 rioters
for taking part in the BLM violence nationwide. Not just in D.C. That's the tip of a vast iceberg. But now
the FBI is happy to go all out. [...] Imagine how 2020's race riots would have gone if the FBI had been as enthusiastic
about arresting Democrats as it is about arresting Republicans.
Is
the FBI Already Engaged in a Coverup in the Nashville Bombing? [Scroll down] There is nothing delusional
or irrational at all in thinking 5G, 4G, or any G before or since, including the earliest iterations of cellular, is being
used to spy on Americans. It's a fact. It is and has been. Indeed, it has been known since the publication
of James Bamford's book "The Puzzle Palace" that the National Security Agency and others have the capability to spy on
virtually every citizen of this country — and that was close to 40 years ago (1983)! And it's only gotten
worse since. I'm sorry to say it, but anyone who thinks he or she has any privacy is a fool. Even the current
president was spied upon. Edward Snowden, as I indicated in my previous column, made it clear just how deeply
implicated AT&T is in this activity. In fact, that company may well be the government's principal private industry ally
in clandestine work, helping to connect it with other cellular companies. If I know that, why wouldn't Warner, an IT
professional, know that? [...] I believe they are once again covering up here, creating a distraction from the actual motive,
because the one thing they don't want to be investigated — well, one among many — is the alliance
between private industry and our intelligence agencies, coupled with the realization we all live now in an Orwellian
surveillance culture, not dissimilar to that in China.
The
FBI's Latest Homegrown Terrorist Plot Is an Obvious Joke but What Is Going to Happen to the People Involved Is
Not. In March 2010, nine members of the so-called Hutaree Militia were arrested on charges of seditious
conspiracy, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, teaching the use of explosive materials, and possessing a firearm
during a crime of violence. The next year, the same scene was played out in Georgia when four men, Frederick Thomas,
73; Dan Roberts, 67; Ray Adams, 65; and Samuel Crump, 68, were arrested and charged with conspiring to attack federal
buildings and kill federal officials. Focus on the ages for a second. In this case, one of the informants was
facing federal child porn charges and the prosecutor was none other than Sally Yates, who was acting Attorney General in the
first days of the Trump administration. Their real crime was being part of a "militia" and talking trash about the US
government. The two cases have a couple of things in common. They were brought by prosecutors who appeared to be
more interested in getting on board with the Obama administration's drive to muddy the waters of radical Islamic terrorism by
creating the illusion that "homegrown" (this invariably meant "white") anti-government terrorism was a greater threat than
the Islamic variety than they were in pursuing justice.
FBI
Was Investigating Trump Earlier Than It Let On, Texts Show. The FBI had investigations open into candidate
Donald Trump earlier than the July 31, 2016, date long cited in the official narrative, according to newly released text
messages from fired Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok. In a text message to FBI attorney Lisa Page sent on July 28,
2016, Strzok mentioned "our open [counterintelligence] investigations relating to Trump's Russian connections." The date of
the text message is significant because the bureau has long maintained that it opened the investigations into Trump campaign
associates on July 31 of that year. Notably, in the electronic communication memorializing the opening of the
investigations, Strzok wrote that the probes were triggered by information the bureau received on July 29, 2016.
The FBI has never disclosed that it was investigating Trump prior to that date. The bureau didn't immediately respond
to a request by The Epoch Times for comment. The information the FBI received pertained to a conversation between Trump
campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and Australian diplomat Alexander Downer. Papadopoulos told Downer that Russians
had damaging information on then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
GOP
Leader McCarthy: FBI Stonewalling on Briefing Congress on Eric Swalwell's Reported Chinese Spy Ties.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday he has asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a briefing on
Rep. Eric Swalwell's reported ties to a Chinese spy and the agency has canceled two times. "Swalwell is a national
security liability. This is too important for the FBI to continue to stonewall," he tweeted.
'Collusion' vs. Collusion.
Historians will dissect the origins and spread of the mass hysteria of Russian "collusion." The farce infected the
media. It discredited the Democratic Party. And it warped the popular culture between 2015 and 2020.
"Collusion" destroyed what was left of respect for the Washington FBI, the CIA, and the liberal news media. When 50
former "intelligence" officers can attest, right before the election, that the Hunter Biden scandal emails are likely Russian
disinformation designed to help Trump, then there is nothing much left of the reputation of our once best and brightest.
FBI
Has Files From Laptop of Slain DNC Staffer Seth Rich. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has files from
the laptop computer belonging to Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee (DNC) employee who was killed in 2016, according
to a new email. The bureau also has tens of thousands of documents mentioning Rich. The FBI "has completed the
initial search identifying approximately 50 cross-reference serials, with attachments totaling over 20,000 pages, in which
Seth Rich is mentioned," Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrea Parker wrote in the message to attorney Ty Clevenger, who is
representing a plaintiff in Huddleston v. Federal Bureau of Investigation, a case dealing with a Freedom of Information
Act request to the bureau. "FBI has also located leads that indicate additional potential records that require further
searching," Parker added.
'Under
the rug:' Sexual misconduct shakes FBI's senior ranks. An assistant FBI director retired after he was accused
of drunkenly groping a female subordinate in a stairwell. Another senior FBI official left after he was found to have
sexually harassed eight employees. Yet another high-ranking FBI agent retired after he was accused of blackmailing a
young employee into sexual encounters.
We
have been manipulated and will not admit it. When you try and have a conversation about the abuse of power of
the FBI, the Justice Department, the CIA, and other government agencies, many Americans don't believe you and say, "I don't
think my government would do that." When told about the FISA application lies, under oath, to spy on Americans, they
would say, "I don't believe my government would do that."
Whistleblower
Jesse Morgan Interrogated by FBI Instead of Investigated, His Family Harassed. Steve Bannon: Are
authorities coming to you and saying, "Hey we need to sit down and interview you?" What is going on with where these ballots
are and what they are used for? Jesse Morgan: You know, it is really funny that you say that. I've been
interviewed, so I had a meeting with the FBI. Somebody, the OGI or some agency from the post office and a few other
people. So basically the interview, so here I am the witness basically gets kind of like interrogated I guess, you'd
say. Which is cool I understand that they're doing their job. So I give them what I saw what happened to me, what
I'd done. And what they wanted to do instead of focusing on the picture they wanted to focus over here and try to
figure out how I came on TV. [Video clip]

Truck Driver Says He Delivered 288k Completed Ballots From NY To Penn!. Jesse Morgan, a truck driver with USPS

Senate holds
hearing on FBI's Russia investigation. The Senate Homeland Security Committee held a hearing on the FBI's 2016
'Russia Investigation. On Thursday [12/3/2020], the Committee heard from multiple witnesses affiliated with the
'Crossfire Hurricane Investigation.' Republicans have frequently asserted the FBI's Russia probe was really a
Democrat-led means of going after President Trump, which led to a number of security compromises. During the hearing,
senators questioned former FBI Assistant Director of Intelligence Kevin Brock, who argued the partisan investigation violated
FBI regulations.
FBI Buried
Hunter Biden Laptop. It's worth remembering that in June, 15 FBI agents were sent to Alabama to investigate
whether a knot tied like a noose in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace's garage was evidence of a race crime. It wasn't.
One agent with a smartphone would have quickly discerned the truth — that the knot had been there for more than a
year — but because race is a third rail in American politics and culture, the FBI was determined to prove they
were on the job. The investigation was performative, designed to show that the FBI was taking the matter seriously,
even though it wasn't. The FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server was also performative.
There was never any chance the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate was going to be charged with mishandling classified
information — not least because scores of other Obama officials, including the president himself, had communicated
with her on what they knew was an unsecure server. During his three-year tenure, FBI Director Christopher Wray has
allegedly made a habit of covering up for Obama administration officials.
The
FBI Spying Denial That Never Grows Cold. Four years after the FBI sent "Confidential Human Sources" secretly to
gather information on Donald Trump's team, the president's opponents in politics and the media continue to deny that the
bureau spied on his 2016 campaign. They are now using that denial to dismiss questions of voting irregularities in the
2020 election by arguing that Trump and his allies traffic in outrageous falsehoods for partisan purposes. [...] This might
appear at first glance to be a debate about semantics, a question of whether to call surveillance "spying" or something with
less negative overtones, such as "intelligence-gathering." Either way, it has been verified that the FBI took the
extraordinary step of investigating an ongoing campaign for the presidency. It has also been verified that the bureau
drew on its complete arsenal, including wiretaps and secret agents — both in-house "Undercover Employees" and
contract operatives called "Confidential Human Sources." Though the FBI doesn't use the word "spy" to describe its own
activities, the bureau's actions fit definitions of spying, old and new.
Who
Killed Philip Haney? In Amador County, California, on February 21, Philip Haney, author of See Something Say
Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad, was found dead from a single
gunshot wound. News reports suggested suicide but the local sheriff found "this is not the case." The death of Haney,
66, was a homicide, the unlawful killing of one person by another. The Amador County sheriff had no suspects but did
find some clues. Deputies recovered "numerous thumb drives and a laptop" from the crime scene, and "those items and
numerous other pieces of evidence, were turned over to the FBI." The sheriff "hopes to complete our review of the reports and
compare the FBI's analysis with what we have already collected and analyzed within a few weeks after receipt." That was
on July 22, and a week after the November 3 election, nearly eight months after the homicide, the FBI "analysis"
has not come to light.
Biden's
Laptop Problem. [Scroll down] The FBI's handling of the Hunter Biden hard drive and laptop, of which they
took possession some ten months ago, tells us all we need to know. In fact, we probably wouldn't have known of the FBI
possession of this evidence, unless reported by the [New York] Post or some other reputable media source. The
information on that hard drive could have abbreviated and ended the politically motivated congressional impeachment coup that
preoccupied Washington at that time. Crickets on that from the FBI. But more important and more disturbing:
Why was there no action from the FBI when that hard drive provided clear and voluminous evidence of high-level Chinese
Communist Party involvement with Hunter Biden and his partners and by implication the potential blackmail of Joe Biden that
could compromise American security? Clearly the Deep State is alive and well in the FBI and the DoJ of which
it is a part.
How
Serious Is The FBI's Biden Inc. Investigation? Almost certainly very serious. In the Indian
tribe fraud case in which two Hunter Biden associates were convicted (Devon Archer's conviction was very recently reinstated
on appeal), a lot of evidence regarding these key Biden Inc. players was gathered. One is now cooperating from
prison. Next question: What will Devon Archer do? Obviously what they have to offer to the government,
their bargaining chips, all have to do with Biden Inc. And the Biden Inc. case is open. Ongoing. But
they've had to wait for the hoped for cooperation, working the documentary trail of evidence while they wait. There's
another indicator, and it's a significant one. [...]
Reports:
FBI Confirms Custody of Hunter Biden Laptop and Authenticity of Emails. According to late-breaking information
from Fox News, the FBI has now confirmed the seizure of Hunter Biden's laptops and confirmed earlier DNI statements that
Hunter Biden emails were not part of a Russia disinformation campaign. The FBI confirms possession of the computers
which allegedly contain emails implicating former Vice-President Joe Biden in his son's international business
dealings. This FBI confirmation comes 12 hours after President Trump requested attorney general Bill Barr
'act fast' and expressed support for an appointment of a special counsel.
This
Is How the Left's Power Structure Collapses. [Scroll down] What's the word for a media establishment that
won't report this story? What's the word for the FBI having this laptop for almost a year, watching dispassionately as
the Democrats impeached Trump with hard evidence in their hands of his innocence and the Bidens' guilt? What's the word
for the above group of bad actors colluding to forward the Russia lies for almost three years? What's the word for
Director Wray's involvement? What's the word for CIA director not releasing documents of the Russia hoax, documents
that have been available for a long time? What's the all-encompassing word that has been revealed at the heart of all
these colluding to hide the truth from an America that deserves to know? Corruption.
FBI
in possession of Hunter Biden's purported laptop, sources say. The FBI is in possession of the laptop
purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden which contained emails revealing his foreign business dealings, including contacts in
Ukraine and China, two senior administration officials told Fox News Tuesday [10/20/2020]. The FBI declined to confirm
or deny the existence of an investigation into the laptop or the emails, as is standard practice. Further, Fox News has
learned that the FBI and Justice Department officials concur with an assessment from Director of National Intelligence John
Ratcliffe that the laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Johnson
to Wray: Tell us everything about Hunter Biden's alleged laptop. Ron Johnson asks a good question, even
if he may not like the eventual answer. Why didn't the FBI make the information on Hunter Biden's alleged laptop
available to the House and Senate during the impeachment of Donald Trump? According to the New York Post, the hard
drive contained information relating to the issue of potential corruption between the Bidens and Ukraine, the probe of which
touched off impeachment in the first place. There are two possibilities, both of which the chair of the Senate Homeland
Security Committee shares with Fox's Maria Bartiromo: [Video clip]
Sen.
Johnson: Has the FBI had the Hunter Biden laptop material for ten months? A Senate Republican leader has
raised new questions about the FBI's actions in the wake of news about alleged conflicts of interests involving former Vice
President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and foreign influence and business opportunities. A whistleblower says that many
months ago, he provided the FBI contents of a laptop computer once used by Hunter Biden. That's according to a letter
to FBI Director Christopher Wray sent today by Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.). The
letter states that an unnamed whistleblower contacted Sen. Johnson's committee on September 24, a day after the
committee released its investigation into alleged Biden conflicts of interest.
Conservatism Now Means Defeating the Establishment.
[Scroll down] The FBI got the Hunter Biden computer about a year ago, a computer full of emails about the Democrat
nominee's crack-curious son's adventures in influence peddling with Ukrainian robber barons and the Chi-Coms, and if some
computer repair guy in New Jersey hadn't thought to keep a copy of the contents the FBI would have deep-sixed the hard drive
just like it did Weiner's laptop in service of their Establishment masters. In fact, leakers are leaking that it's the
Russians at it again in order to actively and willfully cover up the biggest corruption story in American history.
'You
just made the connection': Top senator asked if FBI investigated child pornography on Hunter Biden's laptop. A
top Republican senator acknowledged the possibility that the FBI investigated whether there was child pornography on a laptop
and hard drive that allegedly belonged to Hunter Biden. Journalist Maria Bartiromo asked Sen. Ron Johnson, the
chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, about a Business Insider report that described
faint handwriting on a subpoena served last year to a Delaware business that was given a water-damaged MacBook Pro to repair
but was never retrieved and a hard drive with its contents. The hardware purportedly contained data about foreign
business dealings and other matters related to the son of former Vice President Joe Biden. The subpoena appeared to
show the FBI agent who served it was someone named "Joshua Wilson." [...] "I think you just made the connection. Again,
this is what the FBI, I think, has to come clean about," the Wisconsin Republican said in his first reply. Johnson was
alluding to his letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray about the laptop sent last week.
Why
Is The FBI's Top Child Porn Lawyer Involved In Hunter Biden Laptop Case? The recent New York Post
bombshell reports on Hunter Biden's alleged laptop contents included a curious piece of evidence — a photograph of an FBI
subpoena which bears the signature of the agency's top child porn investigator, special agent Joshua Wilson. According
to the Post, a laptop was dropped off at a Delaware computer repair shop by a man believed by the owner, John Paul Mac
Isaac, to be Hunter Biden. The shop owner made a copy of the hard drive before turning it over to the FBI, which
includes incriminating emails detailing alleged Biden family corruption in Ukraine and China, as well as a 'raunchy,
12-minute video that appears to show Hunter smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman,' as well as
'numerous other sexually explicit images.' FBI agent Wilson's identity was confirmed by both Western Journal and
Business Insider, the latter of which compared his signature to a 2012 criminal complaint and concluded that it
"clearly matches the unreversed signature on the subpoena published by the New York Post."
The
FBI Is Investigating Hunter Biden, but the Reason Will Make You Angry. As RedState has been covering
extensively, Hunter Biden's emails have laid out more evidence of influence peddling and corruption among Joe Biden and his
son. Former denials have been blown up as it appears certain that the former VP was well aware of what his son was
doing. The latest email drop even asserts that Joe Biden was getting monetary kickbacks. To say this is a big
scandal is an understatement, regardless of whether the media want to cover it or not. Meanwhile, another part of this
was that the FBI has supposedly had this information since last year. Now, we know they are investigating, but it's for
the most ridiculous, yet predictable reason you could imagine. Instead of looking into whether laws were broken by the
corruption of Joe and Hunter Biden, the FBI is hot on the case of whether the emails are "Russian misinformation."
Did
the FBI Sit on a Computer Containing Evidence of Hunter Sex Tape and Biden Burisma Corruption? One of the
strangest details of the exclusive New York Post story involving the recovered data from a computer linked to Hunter Biden is
the story of the laptop itself and what is alleged about it. You can read about the evidence alleging that Hunter Biden
was trading influence with foreign actors in Matt Margolis's piece here. But what also interested me was the part of
the NYP investigation where they claim there's a sex tape and pornographic photos starring Hunter on the laptop —
and the FBI knew about it in December. [...] Let's forget for a moment that there's reportedly a video of Hunter Biden
smoking crack and romping with hookers on the laptop. That's par for the course, isn't it? What about the part
where the FBI had possession of this information back in December? Why didn't the FBI come forward with this evidence
about Hunter Biden's emails, which appear to show collusion and influence-trading? Isn't that something they should
have told the president or members of Congress?
House
Republicans Ask Director Wray if FBI Was in Possession of Hunter Biden's Laptop During Trump Impeachment and Hid Evidence
from Trump Defense. House Republicans on Thursday sent a letter to Director Chris Wray asking if the FBI was in
possession of Hunter Biden's laptop during the impeachment coup of President Trump. "If the FBI was, in fact, in
possession of this evidence and failed to alert the White House to its existence that would have given even more weight to
the president's legal defense, this was a gross error in judgement and a severe violation of trust," the letter says.
How
CIA tried to wave FBI off Trump-Russia conspiracy as it pointed the finger at Hillary Clinton. The CIA wrote a
highly classified three-page memo to FBI Director James B. Comey and agent Peter Strzok telling them that 2016 Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a plan to blame Russian computer hacking on rival Donald Trump. The
Washington Times obtained a copy of the heavily redacted memo sent to the FBI on Sept. 7, 2016, weeks after Mr. Strzok
had opened the Crossfire Hurricane probe into the Trump campaign on suspicion of conspiring with the Kremlin. Then-CIA Director
John O. Brennan wrote in notes that Mrs. Clinton allegedly approved the plan, one declassified document shows.
FBI
Stonewalls Over Hunter Biden; Refuses To Provide Congress Answers On Burisma, China. The FBI is stonewalling a
congressional inquiry into Hunter Biden's overseas business activity described in a Senate report last month which chronicles
the Biden family's international conflicts of interest, as well as potentially criminal business activity, according to
The Federalist. The Senate report detailed Hunter's financial dealings with Ukrainian, Chinese and Russian
businesses created potential "criminal financial, counterintelligence and extortion concerns," and alarmed US officials who
perceived an ethical conflict of interest and flagged potential crimes ranging from sex trafficking to bribery.
Basta! Time to Dismantle the FBI. Fox's Sean
Hannity [...] has long been in the forefront of the fight to expose the Trump-Russia probe which, we learn increasingly
virtually every day, was even more immoral, seditious, and anti-American than we had imagined. [...] But Sean H. evidently
made one, I regret to say serious, mistake, probably because he's basically a nice guy from a law enforcement family.
He insisted all along that the problems in the FBI were only at the top, the so-called "Seventh Floor," the domain of Comey,
Strzok, McCabe, and the others. Unfortunately, no. Also just revealed after three years are 302s
(near-contemporaneous notes made after an interview) and texts that show lower-ranking FBI agents too were aware of the
malfeasances that were occurring in the early stages of the Michael Flynn case. In fact these agents were so alarmed
they were considering professional liability insurance lest they be sued for the dishonest — one could even say
treasonous — activities in which they were being forced to participate. Frankly, I never imagined a FBI
agent could even buy such insurance. The implications are unpatriotic on their face. But live and learn.
It's interesting too, given the nervous chatter among themselves, not one of these agents became a whistleblower.
Stunning
revelations expose FBI's Trump probe as dirtiest political trick in US history. It was always a witch hunt
designed to "get Trump." Collusion was an illusion invented by a suspected Russian spy but zealously embraced by malevolent
actors at the FBI and later by scheming prosecutors on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team of partisans. These are
the stunning revelations contained in two sets of newly declassified documents that pull back the curtain on the Russia Hoax,
the dirtiest political trick in American history. In testimony that is corroborated by records, FBI Special Agent
William J. Barnett has exposed how the bureau's collusion investigation of Donald Trump was based on nothing more than
"supposition on supposition" and devoid of any credible evidence.
FBI
agent Interview Reveals Bias Driving Investigations of Flynn, Trump. An FBI agent who worked on the
investigation of Michael Flynn and Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into "Russia collusion" told investigators
that prosecutors had a "get TRUMP" attitude that distorted their inquiry into the facts. The Department of Justice
released the record Thursday of a recent FBI interview with Special Agent William Barnett as part of its motion to drop the
charges against Flynn. Judge Emmet Sullivan has resisted efforts by the DOJ to drop the charges. Flynn originally
pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, but withdrew that plea as exculpatory evidence emerged. A review of the case by
U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Jensen uncovered more exculpatory evidence, but Sullivan refused to allow the case to drop.
Explosive
New FBI Texts Detail Internal Furor Over Handling Of 'Crossfire Hurricane' Investigation. Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) agents tasked by fired former Director James Comey to take down Donald Trump during and after the 2016
election were so concerned about the agency's potentially illegal behavior that they purchased liability insurance to protect
themselves less than two weeks before Trump was inaugurated president, previously hidden FBI text messages show. The
explosive new communications and internal FBI notes were disclosed in federal court filings today from Sidney Powell, the
attorney who heads Michael Flynn's legal defense team. "[W]e all went and purchased professional liability insurance,"
one agent texted on Jan. 10, 2017, the same day CNN leaked details that then-President-elect Trump had been briefed by
Comey about the bogus Christopher Steele dossier.
Apple
helps FBI track down protester accused of firebombing cop cars. Anyone who believes Apple and the FBI are at an
impasse over investigations into the iPhone maker's criminal customers should think again. In Seattle, Apple has given
the feds vital evidence from one of its iCloud users who was arrested for firebombing cop cars during the George Floyd
protests in late May. The case shows how Apple is willing to help even where the context of the crime is controversial,
namely the Black Lives Matter protests. That's despite President Trump and Attorney General William Barr lambasting the
company for failing to help track down serious criminals while caving in to the demands of the Chinese government.
Their comments came after Apple said it wouldn't help the government get into the physical iPhones of a Saudi national who
shot and killed three on a Pensacola, Florida, naval base in December 2019. (The FBI hacked into the phones anyway.)
A Tyranny Perpetual
and Universal? [Scroll down] Consider also the incredible abuses of power from the Justice Department,
the FBI, the intelligence community, and other agencies. Even with Trump in the White House, the administrative state
still does whatever it wants while hampering the lawful directives of the elected chief executive. So long as their
targets are in the disfavored party, they can spy on American citizens — up to and including presidential
candidates — lie to and entrap public officials, extort plea deals from the innocent, and leak highly classified
information for political purposes. (This is, needless to say, a very partial list.) They get away with all this
scot-free: no punishment, no correction, no rebuke. They not only pay no price for shredding the Constitution and
violating myriad statutes, but they are also lionized: the entire media and commentariat cheer them on. The fix is in,
and has been for some time, but we still pretend we live in the age of Eliot Ness, the incorruptible G-man.
FBI
Lawyer's Guilty Plea Suggests Spygate Corruption Goes Way Higher. Last week's guilty plea by Kevin Clinesmith
represents the first concrete evidence of movement in U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation into the Russia collusion
hoax. The plea agreement, which was released on Wednesday, suggests another area ripe for inquiry: FBI Agent
Stephen Somma's earlier misrepresentation of former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page's status to those preparing the
initial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications to surveil Page. Clinesmith, who served as an
assistant general counsel in the National Security and Cyber Law Branch of the FBI's Office of General Counsel, admitted in
his plea agreement that he had added the phrase "was not a source" to an email from an unidentified governmental agency, most
likely the CIA, concerning Page's "operation contact" with that agency.
Former FBI Attorney Kevin
Clinesmith Made Andrew Weissmann's Nightmares Come True By Pleading Guilty. Clinesmith is charged with having
altered the contents of an email from a CIA Liason on the subject of whether Carter Page had a historical relationship with
the CIA. In April 2017, the existence of a FISA warrant against Page had been leaked to the press by a Senate official
working for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. With the press reporting that he was suspected of being a Russian
Agent, Page began giving interviews to address the question and disclosed that for several years he had been reporting to the
CIA on his contacts with suspected Russian intelligence officials. In fact, in 2013 Page had cooperated with the FBI in
the identification, investigation, and prosecution of three such Russian intelligence officers. While preparing the third
application to extend the Page FISA warrant, an FBI supervisor tasked Clinesmith to contact the CIA and find out if there was
any truth to the statements Page was making in the press.
Sketchy
Business — Clinesmith Agreement Structured to Avoid Scrutiny Upon Special Counsel. Remember, the
Special Counsel was appointed in May 2017, and from then until April 2019 any matter which had anything to do with Spygate or
Trump/Russia, was managed exclusively by the Special Counsel team. The Carter Page FISA warrant of June 29, 2017, was
renewed during the tenure of the Special Counsel. They alone ran the FISA process for the third renewal. Kevin
Clinesmith's boss at the FBI during the period was Trisha Beth Anderson. The Clinesmith criminal indictment (actually
an "information") informs that, while the Special Counsel was running the DOJ, and Andy McCabe was running the FBI, McCabe's
deputy at the FBI, Tricia Anderson, made this request to Clinesmith: ["]We need some clarification on [Carter
Page]. There is an indication that he may be a '[digraph] source.'["] Why is this "digraph" redacted
from the Clinesmith information?
Clinesmith
Gets The Wolfe Plea Deal. As noted in the DOJ press release: "Former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, 38,
pleaded guilty today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to a false statement offense stemming from his
altering of an email in connection with the submission of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ("FISA") application."
Despite the falsification of court documents within a FISA document; and despite the likelihood of an intentional conspiracy
to commit fraud upon the court in order to obtain a Title-1 surveillance warrant against the Trump campaign — via
Carter Page; the DOJ entered into a plea agreement on a single count of lying to federal officers. The agreement holds
a maximum penalty of zero to six months in federal prison and a $250k fine. This is the same plea agreement the DOJ (DC
U.S. Attorney) previously gave to the Senate Intelligence Committee Security Director James Wolfe, who leaked the SAME,
earlier, top-secret classified FISA application to the media on March 17, 2017.
Peter
Strzok Lashes Out at John Durham As Kevin Clinesmith Pleads Guilty to One Charge of Making False Statements.
Fired FBI Counter-intel chief Peter Strzok lashed out at US Attorney from Connecticut John Durham on Wednesday as former FBI
lawyer Kevin Clinesmith pleaded guilty to one charge of making false statements. In order to save himself, Clinesmith
has implicated others on Crossfire Hurricane — who ultimately hid the exculpatory information from the FISA
court? Perhaps Peter Strzok is a little nervous he may be next?
Will
the Dam Break After Clinesmith's Plea? News reports have downplayed the significance of former FBI lawyer Kevin
Clinesmith's guilty plea, acknowledging he altered an official document in the government's Trump-Russia collusion
probe. There has been some coverage, mainly because it is so rare to see FBI agents charged with a felony and because
it is the first tangible result of U.S. Attorney John Durham's sprawling investigation of the investigators. But
mainstream news outlets have minimized its importance. It's only one count, they say, and it deals with a relatively
minor crime by a mid-level figure. That's spin, and it's wrong. This plea is like finding water seeping from the
base of a dam. The problem is not one muddy puddle. The problem is that it foreshadows the dam's failure,
releasing a torrent. That's what the Clinesmith plea portends.
Trump:
Clinesmith Guilty Plea Is 'Just the Beginning' with 'More to Come'. President Trump on Friday [8/14/2020] said
that news of former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith's plea deal with Department of Justice prosecutors was "just the
beginning," signaling that U.S. Attorney John Durham is zeroing in on other targets in his investigation. Clinesmith is
expected to plead guilty in connection with his alteration of an exonerating email during the Crossfire Hurricane (CH)
investigation, which targeted members of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, including foreign policy adviser Carter
Page. In 2016, the CIA sent the email to CH investigators in response to their inquiry about the status of Page's
relationship with the CIA. Their response was not what the CH team was hoping for.
Clinesmith
Charging Documents: FBI Withheld Page's CIA Work From FISA Court, Then Lied About It. The FBI was told
Carter Page was a U.S. intelligence agency source months before the agency began keeping that information from the secret
court that authorized spying on him and nearly a full year before the agency altered documents to claim otherwise.
Federal charging documents against Kevin Clinesmith, the top FBI attorney who was expected to plead guilty today to altering
documents, show that the FBI withheld in three separate spying applications the fact that Page had served as an "operational
contact" who helped an agency believed to be the CIA investigate suspected Russian intelligence figures for five years.
For the fourth application, the agency didn't just hide that fact, but deliberately falsified evidence to claim he was not a source.
Kevin
Clinesmith, Corrupt FBI Attorney Who Falsified Carter Page FISA Warrant, Expected To Plead Guilty. A top FBI
lawyer who fabricated evidence in a federal spy warrant against Trump campaign affiliate Carter Page is expected to plead
guilty to federal charges brought by U.S. Attorney John Durham. Kevin Clinesmith, who is expected to admit to
deliberately fabricating evidence in a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant application, used to spy on a former
campaign affiliate of President Donald Trump, was a top attorney in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Office of General
Counsel (OGC) and a key agency attorney under fired former FBI Director James Comey. Clinesmith is the first individual
to be charged as part of U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation into the efforts in 2016 and 2017 to spy on the Trump
campaign and Trump administration. [...] Clinesmith's deliberate falsification of a federal spy warrant was first revealed
last December following a lengthy investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG),
headed by Michael Horowitz. Horowitz and his team wrote in a 434-page report that Clinesmith — identified in
the report as "OGC Attorney" — altered an email from a separate U.S. federal agency, believed to be the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA), to falsely state that Page had never worked with the CIA to investigate suspected Russia agents
operating within the U.S. In fact, as Clinesmith was told by the operative, Page had worked with the CIA previously, as
well as with the FBI.
Ex-F.B.I.
Lawyer Expected to Plead Guilty in Durham Investigation. A former F.B.I. lawyer intends to plead guilty to
falsifying a document as part of a deal with prosecutors conducting their own criminal inquiry of the Russia investigation,
according to court documents made public on Friday [8/14/2020]. The lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, 38, who was assigned to the
Russia investigation, plans to admit that he altered an email from the C.I.A. that investigators relied on to seek renewed
court permission in 2017 for a secret wiretap on the former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, who had at times provided
information to the spy agency. Mr. Clinesmith's lawyers said he made a mistake while trying to clarify facts for a
colleague. Mr. Clinesmith had written texts expressing opposition to President Trump, who is sure to tout the plea
agreement as evidence that the Russia investigation was illegitimate and politically motivated.
Durham
probe: Ex-FBI lawyer to plead guilty in first criminal case arising from review, attorney says. Former
FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith will plead guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from U.S.
Attorney John Durham's review of the investigation into links between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign, two sources close
to the matter tell Fox News. Clinesmith was referred for potential prosecution by the Justice Department's inspector
general's office, which conducted its own review of the Russia investigation. Specifically, the inspector general
accused Clinesmith, though not by name, of altering an email about former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page to say that he
was "not a source" for another government agency. Page has said he was a source for the CIA. The DOJ relied on that
assertion as it submitted a third and final renewal application in 2017 to eavesdrop on Page under the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act.
Russia
Hoax: Are We All Being Played? Put Up or Shut Up. [Scroll down] I never realized how terrible
the deterioration inside the system had become until four years ago when I stumbled onto what was happening inside the FBI.
Those concerns were brought to my attention by former and current FBI agents, as well as numerous U.S. intelligence officials
aware of the failures inside their own agencies. But it never occurred to me when I first started looking into fired
FBI Director James Comey and his former side kick Deputy Director Andrew McCabe that the cultural corruption of these once
trusted American institutions was so vast. I've watched as Washington D.C. elites make promises to get to the bottom of
it and bring people to justice. They appear to make promises to the American people they never intended to keep.
Who will be held accountable for one of the most egregious abuses of power by bureaucrats in modern American political
history? Now I fear those who perpetuated this culture of corruption won't ever really be held accountable. These
elite bureaucrats will, however, throw the American people a bone. It's how they operate. They expect us to
accept it and then move on.
Igor
Dyachenko and a 34 Month Long DOJ/FBI Cover-Up Operation. CTH friend, researcher and producer John Spiropoulos
helps connect the dots within the operation to cover-up corrupt activity by James Comey, Andrew McCabe, James Baker,
Christopher Wray, Dana Boente and the entire special counsel group. In this video John walks us through the internal
evidence showing how the FBI intentionally hid the statements by Christopher Steele's primary sub-source Igor
Danchenko. The result: a 34 month cover-up operation.
Did
The FBI Mislead The Senate Intelligence Committee On The Steele Dossier? The Media Is Not Interested. The
latest information comes from the Senate Intelligence Committee which released a declassified briefing report to the Senate
Intelligence Committee in 2018 on the Steele dossier's Primary Sub-source. It is hard to read the document linked below
and not conclude that the FBI misled the Congress on the subject. This occurred after the FBI misled the FISA court,
including the submission of falsified documents to continue the surveillance. The statement that most stands out from
the briefing is that the Primary Sub-source "did not cite any significant concerns with the way his reporting was
characterized in the dossier to the extent he could identify it." Keep in mind that this is a statement made in 2018.
FBI agents had already warned that dossier author Christopher Steele may have been used by Russian intelligence to plant
false information to disrupt the election. Indeed, Steele's allegations were quickly discredited by the FBI. In 2017,
key agents were aware that the basis for the FISA applications were dubious and likely false. Yet it continued the
investigation, and then someone leaked its existence to the media.
Ron
Johnson subpoenas FBI Director Wray in Crossfire Hurricane investigation. A top Republican senator subpoenaed
FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday to appear before the Senate and produce "all records" related to the FBI's Crossfire
Hurricane investigation into Russian election interference and allegations of Trump-Russia collusion. The subpoena, a
copy of which was obtained by the Washington Examiner, includes a request for the documents the FBI handed over to DOJ
Inspector General Michael Horowitz for his damning report the surveillance of onetime Trump campaign associate Carter Page
and the bureau's reliance on British ex-spy Christopher Steele's flawed dossier.
Attkisson
v. Rosenstein for government computer intrusions. The following is an excerpt from the brief being filed today [8/3/2020] in
Maryland state court in Attkisson v. Rosenstein and others for the government computer intrusions. Plaintiff Sharyl
Attkisson, an award-winning journalist — along with her husband and child — have tried for years to pursue their significant and
credible claims of illegal government surveillance, but the U.S. Government has stonewalled them at every turn. Yet, despite
the Government's repeated efforts to obfuscate and delay, the Attkissons detailed in their Complaint:
• Expert forensic computer analysis of the Attkissons' computers, revealing that an unauthorized entity or
entities gained remote access to the Attkissons' computers for a prolonged period, and that one of the pathways by which the intrusions
occurred were IP addresses controlled by the U.S. Government.
• Confirmation, via testimony, that the U.S. Government controlled the IP addresses identified in the Attkissions' computers.
• The degree to which senior figures in the Department of Justice were concerned about, and took steps to
block, Sharyl Attkisson's reporting, as well as her use of confidential governmental sources;
• Many documented instances of abnormal, otherwise unexplained behavior of the Attkissons' computer systems and devices.
Evidence
Shows FBI Tried to Tie Citizen Trump to Epstein Case But with No Success. During the investigation of Jeffrey
Epstein citizen Donald Trump's name came up. The FBI attempted over and over to tie the famous New York developer to
misconduct, but to no avail. Per a review of documents released last night in the Jeffrey Epstein case, the FBI tried
to tie the now deceased pedophile to citizen Donald Trump but were unable to do so.
Tick,
Tick, Boom, Boom, Time's Up, Obama Goons? James Comey and John Brennan routinely defend their assault on the
peaceful transfer of power and their undermining of President Trump's legitimate election as those actions required by a
"higher loyalty" to the institutions they once steered. Instead, they and the large group of political and permanent
government saboteurs who have betrayed their country for the purpose of toppling a duly elected president have destroyed
those institutions by their own hands. And even if Durham were to round up everyone involved, from Barack Obama and
Hillary Clinton to former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer James Wolfe and Joe Biden's Deep State mole Eric Ciaramella,
the genie is out of the bottle. Justice delayed is justice denied. The horror we've witnessed unfolding before
our eyes since before President Trump's inauguration will never be recast into anything remotely akin to "justice."
Disgraced
fired FBI officials Comey, McCabe and Strzok profit from a pathology of lies. Lying is pathology.
Habitual liars do so compulsively, often to benefit themselves. The same is true of corrupt people. They seek to
prosper from their corruption. For proof, look no further than the venal characters fired from the FBI after inventing
the Trump-Russia collusion hoax — Director James Comey, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and Agent Peter
Strzok. All three were fired for their abuse of power, corrupt acts, and suspected lies. Undaunted, they now
profit financially from their misdeeds. Strzok is the latest to capitalize on his infamy. He is set to release a
book in September titled "Compromised: Counterintelligence and the Threat of Donald J. Trump." The irony
should be lost on no one. Can you think of anyone more compromised than the notorious and smug Strzok?
Declassified
Documents Show FBI Used 'Defensive' Briefing In 2016 To Spy On Donald Trump. Newly declassified internal
Federal Bureau of Investigation documents prove the top U.S. law enforcement agency used a so-called defensive briefing of
the Trump campaign in 2016 to spy on and collect information about Donald Trump himself. The new documents, which are
just the latest in a string of declassifications regarding the FBI operation to spy on the Trump campaign and later the Trump
administration, detail the FBI's attempts to use a briefing ostensibly meant to warn the Trump campaign about foreign
intelligence threats to spy on the Trump campaign itself. The documents were formally declassified by Director of
National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on July 23 then provided to Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of
the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and
Government Affairs Committee.
New
FBI Notes Re-Debunk Major NYT Story, Highlight Media Collusion To Produce Russia Hoax. The FBI official who ran
the investigation into whether the Donald Trump campaign colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election
privately admitted in newly released notes that a major New York Times article was riddled with lies, falsehoods, and
"misleading and inaccurate" information. The February 2017 story was penned by three reporters who would win Pulitzers
for their reporting on Trump's supposed collusion with Russia. The FBI's public posture and leaks at the time supported
the now-discredited conspiracy theory that led to the formation of a special counsel probe to investigate the Trump campaign
and undermine his administration.
FBI Conspires
Against Trump. As we continue uncovering details of the coup against President Trump by top Obama/Deep State
officials, we've also noted the FBI and DOJ are still slow-rolling the release of information about the scandal. So,
frustratingly slowly — but surely — we're getting piece after piece of the Obamagate puzzle. We
received another batch of emails, 136 pages, between former FBI official Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa
Page. They include heavily redacted emails showing Strzok, Page and top bureau officials in the days prior to and
following President Donald Trump's inauguration discussing a White House counterintelligence briefing that could "play into"
the FBI's "investigative strategy."
The
Mysterious Journey of an FBI Leak Investigation. In January of 2017 California Senator Dianne Feinstein
abdicated her position as Vice-Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). Upon the initiation of a
new congress, and two weeks before the inauguration of President Donald Trump, Virginia Senator Mark Warner took the SSCI
Vice-Chair seat, and that's how things get started. Amid a concerted effort to resist the incoming administration the
Russia Collusion Conspiracy was launched. Politicians, the U.S. intelligence apparatus and DC beltway media united in
common purpose to push a Trump-Russia narrative. Within the early days of that effort, the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence initiated an investigation into Russian interference with the election.
FBI Refuses
To Disclose Records On Source Who Undermined Steele Dossier. The FBI is refusing to release documents related
to the primary source for dossier author Christopher Steele, saying in response to a public records request that the
information is classified and risks identifying a confidential FBI source. The source, whose identity remains a
mystery, holds key information that could shed light on apparent inaccuracies in Steele's dossier, which the FBI cited
extensively in applications for surveillance orders against Trump campaign aide Carter Page. The decision, which the
FBI made in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by The Daily Caller News Foundation, comes as Republican
lawmakers have increasingly accused the FBI and its director, Christopher Wray, of withholding documents relevant to the
investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
Stu
Evans' Lonely, Failed Quest to Save the FBI From Itself. False accusations that the Trump campaign colluded
with Russia have already cost some of the most senior officials at the FBI and the Department of Justice their reputations,
their careers, or both. The widespread wrongdoing raises the question: Where were the honest lawmen and
women? Was there no one willing to challenge superiors — or even just colleagues — gone
rogue? There may have been at least one. As deputy assistant attorney general for the Office of Intelligence,
Stuart Evans had the responsibility of vetting spy warrants before submitting them to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court. In the fall of 2016, the FBI presented Evans with an application for a warrant to capture the communications of
volunteer Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page. The main justification for getting a wire on Page were
allegations by former British spy Christopher Steele. Instead of credulously embracing the Steele dossier as so many
others did, Evans demanded more information about Steele. He put up bureaucratic roadblocks and manned them stubbornly
while asking the essential questions no one else seemed to care about.
No kidding. Wray
Has 'Serious Concerns' About Comey FBI's Investigation Of Michael Flynn. FBI Director Christopher Wray said in
an interview aired Wednesday that he has "serious concerns" about how the bureau handled the investigation into former
national security adviser Michael Flynn. "I will say... the Flynn investigation, which took place before I started, and
by the time I started was in the hands of the special counsel's office, is something that has in my view raised serious
concerns and questions," Wray told Fox News anchor Bret Baier.
Fifth
Redacted Name in Rosenstein's Scope Memo Identified as Walid Phares. An interesting new discovery amid
revelations into the background motives of President Obama to weaponize the intelligence apparatus against his political
opposition. [...] Today [6/18/2020] former Trump campaign foreign policy advisor Walid Phares identified himself as the fifth
target in the August 2, 2017, Rosenstein scope memo.
"Social
Justice Warrior-ing" — Is That Now Taught at the FBI Academy? This story is actually being urged
upon me, and I find myself a bit conflicted. At first, I tried to find a reason to sympathize with whatever predicament
the FBI Agents found themselves that caused them to kneel down. There is conflicting reporting about whether the Agents
kneeled in order to minimize the potential for confrontation with a much larger group of protesters who were calling for them
to do so, or whether the Agents were, in fact, demonstrating sympathy for the views being expressed by the protesters.
That was a story put out that was sourced to anonymous FBI officials. But the more I look at what happened, and the
more agents I talk to, the more obvious it seems that someone in FBI management is trying to rescue these agents from the
internal and external consequences of their horrendous judgment. After I watched the video which is embedded here, I
struggled to see any coercion or compulsion for their actions. [Video clip]
Democrats,
Not Republicans, Protect Dirty Cops. Abuse and inequality — at the hands of American law
enforcement — comes in all forms. [...] Calls for police reform and accountability are happening on a bipartisan
basis. That has not been the case, however, when it comes to Obamagate. Democrats, led by the forked-tongue
Schiff, have spent the past three years defending, even justifying, unprecedented abuses by the nation's top law enforcement
chiefs related to their targeting of Donald Trump, his associates, and his family members. The Trump-related victims of
James Comey's FBI may not be black, they were unfairly targeted nevertheless. It was not race that motivated their
persecutors, nor was it any actual suspected wrongdoing. They were targeted because of their political views.
It's
Worse Than We Thought — DNI Ratcliffe Declassifies "Annex A" The Supportive Documents For 2017 Intel Community
Assessment. DNI John Ratcliffe has declassified the Appendix to the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment
(ICA). The appendix known as "Annex A" was the material the FBI and CIA did not include in the body of the ICA; however,
it was used to brief congress. There was always suspicion that "Annex A" was the ridiculous claims by FBI source
Christopher Steele; those suspicions are confirmed today [6/11/2020]. The ICA was written in late December '16 & early
January 2017, and the purpose was to politicize intelligence by making outlandish claims of the Trump-Russia conspiracy the
official position of the U.S intelligence apparatus (CIA, FBI, DOJ and NSA).
Unable
to Run Its Own Agencies, Washington Dictates to America's Police. The FISA court recently found federal
intelligence agencies guilty of an "institutional lack of candor" in dealing with the tribunal. That conclusion has
only been bolstered by Justice Department reports outlining stunning abuses of power by the FBI, serial lying and leaking by
top officials, fabrication of evidence, and investigations launched on a dearth of predication and furthered by entrapment
tactics and perjury traps. We never did get to the bottom of the Justice Department's "Fast and Furious" scandal, in
which the ATF allowed illegal firearms transfers into Mexico — evidently hoping to fuel a political narrative
against the Second Amendment but succeeding only in fueling violent Mexican gang crime that claimed the life of a
border-patrol agent.
Sen.
Graham refuses to let FISA abuse get pinned on low-level FBI staff: 'I believe it goes to the very top'.
Sen. Lindsey Graham says that he plans on calling former FBI Director James Comey and former deputy director Andrew
McCabe to testify before his Senate Judiciary Committee, because he doubts they were unaware the dossier compiled by
ex-British spy Christopher Steele had been debunked before it was used to get a FISA warrant to monitor former Trump campaign
adviser Carter Page. After former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein denied having knowledge of any altered
documents or that the Steele dossier had been disavowed beforehand, McCabe responded by saying that Rosenstein's claim that
he was misled by him or anyone else at the FBI "are completely false." Graham, R-S.C., told Fox News' "Sunday Morning
Futures" that he wants to press McCabe on his knowledge regarding the FBI's interview with Steele's sub-source, who denied
the information in the dossier.
FBI
Pledge Allegiance to Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Nation of Islam and New Black Panthers Protesters. In a
display of public unity with 'The Movement' writ large, FBI officials took a knee to declare their woke allegiance with the
protesting mobs. With that visible display we now have a better understanding of the motives behind a history of FBI
failures. Setting aside the optic that some members of the FBI looking more like 'meal-team-6', there was always a
suspicion the FBI were more concerned about political correctness than actually doing the work of a federal investigative
agency. Historically the FBI has failed miserably to stop domestic terror threats; and when the investigative failures
are researched there's usually a prior connection between the attackers and the FBI.
Time
for the FBI to Disclose, Discharge, and Disinfect. When Christopher Wray was named director of the FBI in
August 2017, he had two crucial tasks: clean the Augean Stables, which had been fouled by James Comey, and restore public
confidence in the bureau. Comey presided over a carnival of misconduct. Comey and his deputy, Andrew McCabe,
supervised all of it and handpicked most of the other agents involved. Wray's job was to muck out this mess, disclose
the wrongdoing, fire the bad guys, and win back public support. To put it bluntly: he has failed at the job. He
has failed the country, the president, and his fellow agents.
The
FBI has its priorities! Washington, DC was on FIRE last night. You are the the top Federal Law
enforcement agency in the United States and THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE TWEETING ABOUT TODAY??
Dana
Boente Removed! — FBI Chief Legal Counsel Forced to Resign. Finally, the DOJ has moved to remove one
of the biggest background corrupt officials within the FBI. According to multiple media sources FBI chief legal counsel
Dana Boente was forced to resign on Friday [5/29/2020]. Finally, sunlight has removed a very corrupt player. In
prior positions as U.S. Attorney for Virginia; and while leading the DOJ National Security Division; and then later shifting
to the FBI as chief legal counsel under Chris Wray; Dana Boente was at the epicenter of corrupt intent and malign activity
toward the Trump administration.
How
The FBI Used 'News Hooks' To Advance The Trump-Russia Probe. A common theme that has emerged from the FBI's
Crossfire Hurricane investigation is bureau officials' use of media reports and leaks to advance aspects of the bureau's
probe of the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia. In at least five instances, FBI officials capitalized on the
so-called news hooks — also called news pegs, in journalistic jargon — as justification to open up new
areas of the investigation. James Comey, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok all took advantage of media reports to push the
investigation forward. And in one case, Comey orchestrated a leak of his own to spur the appointment of a special
counsel. Prominent media outlets played a key role in advancing the now-debunked theory that the Trump campaign
colluded with the Russian government. Much of that media manipulation centered around the infamous Steele dossier,
which the Clinton campaign and DNC funded.
AG
Barr [is] Not So Confident in FBI Director Chris Wray Anymore. Since February 2019 Bill Barr has been a staunch
and very public defender of Chris Wray. However, with new revelations about recent FBI efforts to block the release of
information as it relates to Michael Flynn, it now appears the AG has less confidence. This shift is important because
as the public have a renewed focused on the question of who illegally leaked Flynn's communication with Russian Ambassador
Sergey Kislyak, there has always been a rather curious contrast issue with the known classified intelligence leaking of James
Wolfe. If finding Flynn's leaker is important then why didn't the DOJ/FBI take action when they found a classified
intelligence leaker in 2018?
Report: Grenell Just
Outsmarted the FBI and Took them Out of the 2020 "Election Game" With this Brilliant Move. There's no doubt
about it... Grenell is one, two, three steps ahead of the Deep State and he's not taking any chances when it comes to the
2020 election. The Trump admin has learned a very valuable lesson about the dirty games the FBI played in 2016 and
they're not about to let what happened with the bogus "Russia Collusion" scandal happen again as we head into 2020.
Grenell made a brilliant move to take away the FBI's power in 2020 by announcing that any "election security" matters will
be handled by the intel agencies that he oversees.
Fixing the FBI.
To fix the FBI, we need to understand what went wrong with it. It is now beyond debate, and should be a bipartisan
concern of the first order, that something was very wrong with the FBI's most senior leadership in 2016-17. It is clear
that Donald Trump's election was the catalyst for that leadership to take one of the most important organs of our government
completely off the rails. The conduct of former FBI Director Comey personally, and the FBI senior leadership in his
tenure, has emerged as a history of repeated conduct that now demands examination. It starts, but unfortunately does
not end, with failed leadership at the bureau that in turn facilitated the bureau's unmistakably taking up a politically
driven agenda.
It
looks like President Obama ordered up phony RussiaGate scandal. RussiaGate is now a complete dead
letter — but ObamaGate is taking its place. Just how far did the then-president go to cripple his
successor? It's now clear the Obama-Comey FBI and Justice Department never had anything more substantial than the
laughable fiction of the Steele dossier to justify the "counterintelligence" investigation of the Trump campaign. Yet
incessant leaks from that supposedly confidential probe wound up consuming the Trump administration's first months in
office — followed by the Bob Mueller-led special-counsel investigation that proved nearly the "total witch hunt"
that President Trump dubbed it. Information released as the Justice Department dropped its charges against
Gen. Mike Flynn shows that President Barack Obama, in his final days in office, played a key role in fanning the flames
of phony scandal.
A Time to Hate. [Scroll down] Lt. Gen. Flynn
never deserved what was done to him. He was targeted for destruction by criminals and crooks in the FBI. They set
out to destroy him. The FBI is not allowed to bother law-abiding people like you and me, to set us up, and to induce us
to commit a crime. They are permitted to pursue criminal investigations only when they have a predicate before
them. In the case of Flynn, they had in their possession a complete recording and transcript of his phone call with
Sergey Kislyak. Yet they interviewed him and asked him to tell them what was said during the call. The Bureau of
Investigation was not investigating; they already knew the answer. Rather, they were setting him up to speak a
falsehood, to commit the crime of lying to the FBI, an act whose criminal dimensions he did not appreciate as a layman.
They dissuaded him from having an attorney at the interview so he would slip into the trap. A competent attorney would
have protected him.
Why
Did Obama Tell The FBI To Hide Its Activities From The Trump Administration? In 1980, a teenage Amy Carter left
a burnt cake in the oven of the White House's family quarters in a reflex of childish revenge for her father's landslide loss
to Ronald Reagan. In 2017, Barack Obama and Joe Biden avenged Donald Trump's surprise victory over Hillary Clinton by
leaving what they claim was a Russian agent in the West Wing. That conclusion inevitably follows if one accepts as
credible the FBI's supposed predicates for launching the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the Trump campaign and the
four related probes into George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and Michael Flynn.
Two
Important Transcripts Shed Light on the FBI and Two of Their Informants. This piece is based on two of the
transcripts that Adam Schiff was forced to release last Thursday and they are revelatory. The first concerns Felix
Sater. The second is from the FBI Agent who handled Christopher Steele. The agent's name is kept
confidential. If you are the FBI and you are running a counter intelligence investigation into Trump's ties with the
Russians you would want Felix Sater, who helped the FBI on several cases involving Russian spies and Russian organized
crime. He was a business partner of Donald Trump's since at least 2001. And what does Sater reveal about The Donald's
ties to the Russian mob and Russian spies? He exonerates Trump. Then we have the unnamed FBI handler of
Confidential Human Source Christopher Steele. He admits to knowing Sater and some of the things he did for the FBI.
Any evidence of Trump cavorting with the Russians? NOPE. After you read the transcript you will appreciate why
this FBI agent is not named. He did his job honestly and professionally. In fact, he's the one who terminated
Steele as a source.
Transcripts
Contradict Comey's Claim That DNC Denied FBI Access to Servers. An attorney who represented the Democratic
National Committee in connection to the hacking of its servers and the private cybersecurity expert who led the response to
the breach both contradicted the testimony to Congress given by then-FBI Director James Comey, who claimed that the FBI
sought and was denied access to DNC's physical servers. Michael Sussman, an attorney with Perkins Coie, told lawmakers
on the House Intelligence Committee in December 2017 that the FBI declined to access the DNC premises when offered to do so
during a meeting which included cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike in mid-June of 2016, according to a newly declassified
transcript. During the meeting, the chief executive officer of the DNC, Amy Dacey, relayed to the FBI that the bureau
"could have access to anything they needed," according to Sussman.
Robert
Mueller memo shows why each key figure was targeted in probe. The Justice Department has released a largely
unredacted copy of former acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's 2017 memo laying out the scope of former special counsel
Robert Mueller's investigation, offering a previously unseen glimpse into how the Russia probe was framed. "The Scope
of Investigation and Definition of Authority" was released Wednesday at the request of Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and
Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the current and former Judiciary Committee chairmen. The memo, dated as being sent on Aug. 2,
2017, and written to Mueller when Rosenstein was serving as deputy attorney general, specified five people whom he was permitted
to investigate: Carter Page, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, George Papadopolous and one other whose name was redacted.
Are
Russia Collusion Hoax Holdouts Still Operating Within the FBI? What is it like inside the seventh floor of the
FBI's Hoover fortress while revelations of constitutional abuses lash the walls like a never-ending hurricane season of the
FBI's own making? Newly released documents have refocused attention on the FBI's abuses in the Flynn prosecution.
The FBI's dirty tricks in the Flynn prosecution are almost too numerous to inventory. Does FBI Director Christopher
Wray fret over the increasing perception that the FBI has become a rogue police force unbound by constitutional checks and
balances? Is he feverishly working behind the scenes to root out perpetrators of spying abuses that targeted opponents
based upon politics and other non-law enforcement purposes? A new interview with former journalist Carl Bernstein
signals that there remains a Russia collusion hoax rearguard within the FBI in spite of the resignations, firings, and
departures of Crossfire Hurricane figures, including Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bill Preistrap, James Baker, James Comey, and
Kevin Kleinsmith.
Jim
Jordan: Wray's FBI failed to turn up missing FISA files. The top Republican on the House Oversight
Committee is turning up the heat on FBI Director Christopher Wray to answer for persistent flaws in the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act process. Rep. Jim Jordan sent a letter to DOJ Inspector General Horowitz on Friday, zeroing in on
widespread issues found in the preliminary results of a March FISA audit. The Ohio Republican noted "the FBI was unable
to locate the Woods files for four additional files that the OIG had requested — meaning the OIG could not review
those applications." His letter, which was obtained by the Washington Examiner, reveals that as of April 21, the
DOJ watchdog reported, "The FBI had not yet located or followed-up on these four missing Woods files."
DOJ
releases long-awaited Mueller scope memo, revealing the probe went beyond previously known mandate. The Justice
Department on Wednesday released a mostly unredacted version of then-Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's August 2017
"scope memo" outlining the authority of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller — and the document reveals for the
first time that Mueller's authority went significantly beyond what was known previously. Rosenstein, who later left the
Justice Department for a law firm, oversaw Mueller's probe and played a central role in its still-unfolding drama. He
was the subject of a two-page memo written by then-Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe that outlined how Rosenstein allegedly
proposed wearing a wire in the White House "to collect additional evidence on the president's true intentions," and thought
the scheme was plausible because "he was not searched when he entered the White House." Rosenstein has denied those
allegations and slammed the FBI.
Walls
Closing In Around FBI Director Chris Wray as Documents Show His Enabling of Corrupt FBI Objectives. An
interesting article from Fox News asks the question of whether Mueller's special counsel attorney Brandon Van Grack misled
Judge Sullivan in the Flynn case by not being forthcoming about the background documents under the DOJ Brady obligation.
Additionally, as a consequence of the Flynn evidence discoveries people are now asking why the FBI and DOJ did not produce these
documents earlier. Representative Jim Jordan is specifically asking these questions of current FBI Director Chris Wray.
In response to the Fox News article the FBI has released a statement which itself is very interesting. Apparently the FBI
Director is trying to dig himself and his institution out of a hole; but it is only getting worse.
Pressure
mounts on Wray as FBI behavior in Russia case comes into clearer focus. Back in early 2018, the FBI under newly
minted Director Chris Wray issued an extraordinarily rare public rebuke of a sitting House committee chairman.
Then-House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes had just issued a memo concluding that the FBI under Wray's
predecessor, James Comey, abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act process to improperly spy on President Trump's
campaign. Wray fired back, even though the issues didn't happen on his watch, suggesting Nunes had given an inaccurate
picture to the American public.
America
Doesn't Have A Justice System Anymore. [Scroll down] And this sorry state of affairs is all the FBI's
fault. Every bit of it. At one time it was the pride of American law enforcement, a symbol of integrity, honesty
and incredible courage under fire. But now when we think of the FBI in "action," we think of a couple dozen special
agents decked out in full Delta Farce chic dragging an elderly gadfly out of bed in his PJs after making sure to tip-off CNN
that this high-risk op was about to go down. Way to go, guys.
Flynn
documents are the 'smoking gun' on Comey's FBI. Had the Department of Justice (DOJ) released the newly
disclosed documents related to Gen. Michael Flynn three years ago, instead of fired FBI director James Comey improperly
leaking his "memos" on President Trump, there definitely would have been a special counsel — only it would have
been investigating the FBI for gross abuse of power, not the Trump administration. The new documents are in effect the
"smoking gun" proving that a cabal at the FBI acted above the law and with extreme political bias, targeting people for
prosecution rather than investigating crimes. DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz found 17 violations of policy and
procedure in the initiation of the investigation of President Trump's campaign. Special counsel Robert Mueller's report
found no evidence of any Trump-Russia collusion. And yet, much of the media coverage of all this has been so riddled with
bias that, in a recent poll, 53 percent still believe Trump colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 presidential election.
The
FBI's 'Russiagate' search-and-destroy mission against Team Trump. With the latest revelation, the FBI's "Russiagate"
investigation now stands exposed as worse than amateurish — and more like a search-and-destroy mission. Destroy
the Trump administration, that is — not actual US enemies. Lawyers for ex-Gen. Michael Flynn released
just-unsealed documents that suggest the FBI abused its power to take out President Trump's first national security adviser.
The FBI
has disgraced itself. [Scroll down] This week, we learned that an American hero, a loyal lifelong and
proved courageous defender of our nation, was callously framed by a political conspiracy of the most senior FBI
officials, seeking thereby to defame and destroy the newly elected president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Over the years, the FBI regrettably has shown itself to be self-serving and inept and has suffered several disgraceful
scandals, but always committed by lesser men. Today, the FBI, at the very top, has shown itself to actually be
seditious, subverting the office of the president of the United States!
K.T.
McFarland gives hair-raising interview about being 'collateral damage' in FBI's goal 'to get Trump'. Former
Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland exposed the corrupt FBI's investigation of former National Security Adviser
Michael Flynn as really an attempt to take out President Donald Trump. McFarland slammed fired FBI Director James Comey
and the agency's efforts to set up Flynn as revealed in newly released notes that show how he was ambushed in an interview in
January of 2017. Comey "thought he was going to get away with" the blatant perjury trap set for the former Trump adviser,
McFarland told Fox News host Martha MacCallum.
Joe
diGenova: Former FBI General Counsel James Baker Has Flipped and There's a Mole Inside the FBI.
Washington attorney Joe diGenova, a former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, spoke to radio show host Howie Carr on
Wednesday. Though the interview took place before Thursday night's stunning release of FBI documents pertaining to
Gen. Michael Flynn, he reported some fascinating new information about the Durham investigation. DiGenova told
Carr there is now a mole inside the FBI "who is leaking to the press about the current conduct of FBI Director Christopher
Wray and his general counsel, Dana Boente.
Even
The Manipulated Senate Intel Report Can't Hide FBI Spies And Lies. On April 21, the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence released a report on its review of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) drafted for President Barack
Obama on Russia's interference in the 2016 election. Corporate media immediately touted the Republican-controlled
committee's finding that "the ICA presents a coherent and well-constructed intelligence basis for the case of unprecedented
Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election," including by hacking Democratic National Committee emails, as
vindication of the intelligence communities' handling of all things Russia. But a close reading of the report —
or at least those portions of the report that could be read — instead cements the reality that the FBI
intentionally snowed the FISA court to spy on Donald Trump.
The
Russians did it — Revised Version. For three years, the left has been peddling the story that the
Russians interfered in the 2016 election in collaboration with the Trump campaign, with the ridiculous Steele Dossier cited
as the proof. Now, the Party Line has shifted. The Russians still did it, says the new line, possibly working
with the Clinton campaign, only they fed disinformation to the gullible Christopher Steele, who than helped deceive the
innocents at the CIA and the FBI. So if these agencies spent three years conducting a sham investigation that hamstrung
the American Presidency and embittered political relations — well, it was still the Russian's fault.
Declassified
Footnotes From IG Report Reveal FBI Was Warned Multiple Times About Hillary's Phony Dossier — Used it Anyway to
Spy on Trump. CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge obtained newly declassified footnotes in IG Horowitz's
report showing multiple warnings to the FBI about Hillary's phony Russia dossier but they used it anyway to spy on Trump's
campaign and to sabotage his presidency. As TGP previously reported, Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee
Ron Johnson and Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee Chuck Grassley Tuesday sent a letter to Attorney General Bill Barr
asking him to declassify four footnotes in Horowitz's report on FISA abuse. The Senators stated that the classified
footnotes contradict what is publicly available in Horowitz's report related to Crossfire Hurricane, the CI investigation
opened into Trump's campaign in July of 2016.
The
13 revelations showing the FBI never really had a Russia collusion case to begin with. They've come slowly,
drip by drip: the reluctant revelations of an FBI bureaucracy. But taken together, the body of evidence now amassed
over two years of investigating the investigators explains why Attorney General William Barr last week declared there was
never really a basis to probe Donald Trump's campaign for alleged collusion with Russia. "I think the president has
every right to be frustrated, because I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history,"
Barr told Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "Without any basis they started this investigation of his campaign, and even more
concerning, actually is what happened after the campaign, a whole pattern of events while he was president. to sabotage the
presidency, and I think that — or at least have the effect of sabotaging the presidency," the attorney general said.
It
looks like Putin conned the FBI into the 'Russiagate' probe. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Russia
investigation launched and conducted by James Comey's Federal Bureau of Investigation deserves to rank as one of the agency's
great blunders — at best. President Trump famously calls the probe a hoax, a label he uses liberally, but in
this instance, it may literally be true. We've spent years obsessing about Russian meddling in our politics, and now it
turns out that the original FBI investigation into the Trump campaign that morphed into the Mueller probe may have been
instigated, in part, by Russian disinformation.
FBI
Knew Before Mueller Probe That Hillary's Steele Dossier Was Russian Disinformation. In a Friday night, holiday
weekend document dump, we're now learning that before the Mueller investigation began, the FBI knew that at least part
of the ridiculous so-called Steele dossier was based upon planted Russian disinformation. Worse, according to Senator
Ron Johnson in a Wall Street Journal op-ed released Friday night [4/10/2020], the FBI continually lied about the
provenance of the fake dossier information and only showed the FISA court and inspector general damning information about
President Trump's election team. Exculpatory information was left out.
Exculpatory
Papadopoulos Transcript — FBI Surveillance Wire — Declassified and Released. Richard
"Ric" Grenell was moved into the position as Acting Director of National Intelligence. Together with a new staff within
the ODNI Grenell is now in position to assist in any declassification effort. Thus we also see the apoplexy by HPSCI
Chairman Adam Schiff, as Grenell is positioned to bring a lot of sunlight on the overall FISA-gate and Spygate operations.
The corrupt intelligence community operators are not happy with Grenell holding such power. Keep this in mind.
Interesting
Ramifications: FISA Court Requires DOJ/FBI To Provide Names of Targets Within Corrupt Surveillance Applications. Things
are getting interesting, potential ramifications are growing, as the FISA Court responds to the latest information from the DOJ Office of
Inspector General (OIG). After a review of 29 FISA applications, from eight FBI field offices, the OIG informed the FBI and DOJ that
none of the surveillance applications were compliant with the Woods procedures. Meaning zero applications had FBI evidence to support
the validity of the claims within the FISA warrants. That's a very big problem if those FISA warrants were used to gather evidence
used to prosecute the 29 targets of the applications.
Some
questions about that IG report blasting the FBI for FISA abuses. It's a tough situation, because we know that
the FBI leadership illegally spied on Donald Trump's campaign adviser Carter Page, apparently out of political motives
conjunctive with the mass unmaskings of U.S. citizens seen elsewhere in the Obama administration. But is every last FBI
agent out there in the field offices hopelessly crooked? Is every last G-man we look at on TV now to be viewed with
suspicions of dishonesty? Are we supposed to now think they all went from being straight arrows in the Marine Corps and
the police agencies they were recruited from and collectively went to the dark side? I have my doubts — it
takes a lot to create a culture of mass criminality, and typically, we'd be seeing more than just FISA abuse if that's what
has been going on. Think thievery, corruption, torture, thuggery, nepotism, corruption, blatant rule-breaking, all
over, as you might with a mafia. So far, we don't see that.
The
FBI Can't Be Trusted With the Surveillance of Americans. For years, we civil libertarians were told that our
concerns about the secret court that oversees the FBI's applications to monitor U.S. citizens were overblown. So what
if the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court approved more than 99% of all applications. The bureau and Justice
Department must follow an onerous process, we were assured, that protects innocent citizens from being snooped on by their
government. Those assurances, as it turns out, were not very reliable. On Tuesday [3/31/2020], the Justice Department
Inspector General Michael Horowitz issued a new report that found systematic errors of fact in the FBI's applications for warrants
under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The memo does not speak to the materiality or significance of those
errors — but they are startling nonetheless. Out of 42 applications, the report says, 39 included major
defects. All told, the inspector general uncovered 390 deficiencies, including "unverified, inaccurate, or inadequately
supported facts, as well as typographical errors."
DOJ's
FISA report contradicts claims by Dems, media figures that surveillance rules were strictly observed. New
findings by the Justice Department inspector general that the FBI has repeatedly violated surveillance rules stood in stark
contrast to the years of assurances from top Democrats and media commentators that bureau scrupulously handled Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants — and prompted Republican lawmakers to caution that the FBI
seemingly believes it has "carte blanche to routinely erode the liberties of Americans without proper justification." The
DOJ watchdog identified critical errors in every FBI wiretap application that it audited as part of the fallout from the bureau's
heavily flawed investigation into former Trump advisor Carter Page, who was surveilled in part because of a largely discredited
dossier funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC). An FBI lawyer in that case even
falsified a CIA email submitted to the FISA court in order to make Page's communications with Russians appear nefarious, the DOJ
inspector general found; and the DOJ has concluded that the Page warrant was legally improper.
FBI's
coronavirus 'fitness app' slammed as a way to extract personal info. The FBI is helping gym rats looking to
stay in shape during the coronavirus lockdown by promoting a fitness app — but it requires users to provide their
GPS coordinates. The law enforcement agency urged people in a Monday tweet to "download the FBI's Physical Fitness Test
app to learn proper form for exercises you can do at home like pushups and situps." The catch is that the FBI FitTest
created in 2018 uses the "phone's GPS and accelerometer," which the FBI claims provides the user a "more realistic PFT
experience." The digital workout tool has been slammed on social media as a sneaky way for the government to extract
personal info amid the coronavirus pandemic.
DOJ
Dismisses Mueller's Charges against Russian Businesses. More than an investigation, the Mueller probe was the
wellspring of a political narrative. That becomes clearer as time goes by and more information ekes out ... such as
new confirmation that, months before Mueller was appointed in May 2017, it was already well understood in Justice Department
circles that there was no case of criminal "collusion" between the Trump campaign and Russia.
What
if Hillary had won in 2016? If Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 election, we would not know about the
enormously complex attempted coup she undertook, with a vast cast of characters, to defeat Donald Trump as a candidate and
then unseat him once he was elected president. Only because she lost, do we now know a great deal about all that.
We know Hillary commissioned and paid for the vaunted "dossier," that she hired Fusion GPS to deliver opposition research
that would take candidate Trump out of the running. We know that bad actors in the FBI (James Comey, Andrew McCabe,
Pete Strzok, et. al.), at the DOJ (Sally Yates, Rod Rosenstein, Bruce Ohr, et. al.), at the CIA (John Brennan) and James
Clapper at the DNI all coordinated with each other to destroy Trump by wholly fraudulent means. Thanks to the wisdom of
the voters, we now know all about their crimes against this country. Numerous books have been published by intrepid
actual journalists that have laid out what happened in tremendous detail. Hopefully when AG Bill Barr and prosecutor
John Durham release their report, we will be privy to all the details of the whole sordid story of the most venal political
scandal in American history.
Details
of FBI's targeting of Trump emerge in Horowitz report. Justice Department Inspector General Michael E.
Horowitz's history of how the FBI targeted Donald Trump associates has become a constant presence on social media as
journalists and Russia aficionados make more discoveries and connect the dots. Every page of the Horowitz report
contains new disclosures. The report's banner headline was that FBI agents supplied inaccurate information or withheld
exculpatory evidence 17 times when they asked judges to approve four wiretap warrants on campaign volunteer Carter
Page. Morsels of information placed in footnotes or buried in a few sentences also tell a fuller story about the
Trump-Russia investigation.
Inside
the FBI's 218 days that changed Trump's political world. Donald Trump campaign alumni wonder today what
happened inside the FBI over 218 days from mid-August 2016 to March 20, 2017, that changed their lives forever.
August was the month a special FBI unit code-named Crossfire Hurricane picked four Trump associates for Russia-related
counterintelligence cases. Former FBI Director James B. Comey testified later that it was not the campaign but "four
Americans" under the microscope. On March 20, 2017, Mr. Comey told the world that the entire Trump team faced
investigation for "any links" to Russian government. What changed during those 218 days? First, there was no
evidence at the time that the four had conspired with the Kremlin to hack Democratic Party computers or join in social media
warfare against the Hillary Clinton campaign. There would never be any evidence.
FBI's
Russia collusion case fell apart in first month of Trump presidency, memos show. The piecemeal release of FBI
files in the Russia collusion investigation has masked an essential fact: James Comey's G-men had substantially
debunked the theory that Donald Trump's campaign conspired with Moscow by the time the 45th president was settling into the
Oval Office, according to declassified memos, court filings and interviews. And that means a nascent presidency and an
entire nation were put through two more years of lacerating debate over an issue that was mostly resolved in January 2017
inside the bureau's own evidence files. The proof is now sitting in plain view.
The
Democratic Party Is Wounded And Dangerous. The Democrats and the Deep State have spent the last four years
constructing the greatest wag-the-dog spectacle America's ever seen in an attempt to cover up the malfeasance and criminality
of the last administration, while preventing the current one from achieving too many victories. Considering that
Brennan and Comey are still free and Obama and Hillary are still smiling, they've been remarkably successful. But the
Mueller obfuscation and Schiff circus are behind us, the dance music of delay is dying down, and the Democrats' and Deep
State's ability to keep pushing back their day of reckoning is coming to an end. If they don't win in 2020, they cannot
keep justice at bay, regardless of how stacked in their favor it has always been in the past.
FBI
missed chances to stop domestic terror attacks because of lack of follow-up: DOJ watchdog. The FBI missed
opportunities to stop domestic terrorists from killing Americans because field offices failed to further investigate
individuals who had been labeled homegrown violent extremists, the Justice Department watchdog said in a scathing report
released Wednesday [3/4/2020]. At least six terrorists who later carried out attacks killing a total of 70 people
were on the FBI's radar prior to the attacks. However, the agents quickly closed the cases, concluding the suspects
were not threats to national security, according to the Justice Department inspector general. Among the more
high-profile individuals the FBI failed to recognize as a potential source of terrorism were Omar Mateen, who killed 49
individuals at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando in 2016, Nidal Hasan, who massacred 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009, and
Esteban Santiago, who killed five people in a 2017 terror attack at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The FISA States of America.
The Justice Department brazenly disregards the Constitution when it comes to spying. Does FISA help prevent
terrorism? As I noted here, the government obtained more than 1,000 warrants in a one-year timeframe to spy on
Americans. That's a lot of spying on a lot of Americans. The Justice Department's lying to obtain these warrants
has become so brazen that the court now questions whether it can trust any of the affidavits the FBI submits to
justify its domestic surveillance. The fact that none of these lies are ever criminally punished further reinforces a
cycle of dishonesty within the process.
Government Tries to Cancel Trial
in Key Mueller Case Because the Defendant Isn't Playing Fair. If there is a unifying feature in the entire
Mueller investigation beyond it being an unsuccessful coup attempt against President Trump is that it was a Seinfeld-esque
"investigation about nothing." By the time Robert Mueller had pulled on his jackboots he already knew with near mathematical
certainty that the key piece of evidence he was working from, the Steel dossier, had been the subject to nearly nine months
of unsuccessful effort by the FBI and intelligence community to verify it. The report by Department of Justice
Inspector General Michael Horowitz documents the extreme and dishonest lengths gone to by the FBI to keep the Steele dossier
in play. When the Special Counsel did file indictments (if you were ever an the laughably dishonest LawFareBlog or
anywhere on the left you knew it because you'd see BOOM! or "It's Mueller time" in their tweets") they had zero relationship
to the alleged subject of the investigation and involved process crimes, not substantive acts. But the most significant
indictment by Mueller was that of Concord Management, a company owned by Putin crony Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin, and
thirteen individual Russians, who may or may not exist, affiliated with the so-called Internet Research Agency. I say
may or may not exist because one of the commercial entities owned by Prigozhin did not even exist when the alleged crimes
took place and people involved in covert activities often use fake identities [...]
New
Book: The FBI Considered Joseph Mifsud an Asset. The official story of Operation Crossfire Hurricane
provides that the investigation began with an accidental meeting between Papadopoulos and Alexander Downer, an Australian
diplomat. The story holds that in May 2016, Papadopoulos and Downer had a chance meeting in a London bar during which a
"heavy drinking" Papadopoulos revealed the Trump campaign "knew" the Russians possessed thousands of hacked Clinton emails
that it intended to release to influence the 2016 election. When Wikileaks did indeed release hacked DNC emails in July
2016, Downer made a beeline to the FBI to report the lead on possible coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russian
email dump. Papadopoulos tells a different story.
Democrats Block
FISA Reform. Are House Democrats willing to jeopardize national security to keep alive their Trump-Russia
collusion narrative? On Wednesday they abruptly canceled a markup on a bill to reauthorize three critical surveillance
tools that are due to expire March 15. To listen to the liberal media, the bill has stalled over concerns about "civil
liberties." In truth it's the latest casualty of Democrats' refusal to acknowledge that the Federal Bureau of Investigation
abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court [...]
Why
is The New York Times Outing Lower Level FBI Spygate Operatives? A previously incurious New York Times is now
exposing members of the FBI crew who participated in fraud upon the FISA Court. Are the corrupt former top-tier FBI
officials starting to position lower-level FBI participants as scapegoats? Inside an insufferable article, engineered
to defend the need for the DOJ and FBI to continue using FISA intelligence gathering information against U.S. persons, the
New York times outlines Stephen M Somma as Case Agent 1, the handler for FBI confidential human source Stefan Halper.
GOP
Rep. Nunes believes FBI probe into Trump campaign began in late 2015, not 2016. The FBI began looking into
the Trump presidential campaign before the agency's publicly stated July 31, 2016, start date, says Rep. Devin Nunes,
the top Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. "I believe it started in 2015, but there's
no question that it started in early 2016," Nunes said on the latest episode of the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. The
California lawmaker said he's "highly confident" that the federal probe into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia
to influence the outcome of the 2016 White House race began in late 2015.
FBI Agent Faulted
In FISA Report For 'Significant' Errors Has Finally Been Identified. An FBI agent faulted for some of the most
significant problems laid out in the Justice Department's inspector general report on FISA abuse against a Trump campaign
associate has been identified. The New York Times, citing people familiar with the FBI's Russia probe, identified
Stephen A. Somma, a counterintelligence investigator who works out of the bureau's New York field office, as "Case
Agent 1" from the inspector general's (IG) report.
The case for repealing
FISA and reforming the FBI and CIA. The FBI, in its bungling partisanship, very likely swung the 2016
presidential election away from its preferred candidate, Hillary Clinton. The sprawling "community" of
intelligence agencies (led by the FBI and CIA) covertly used dubious foreign sources to justify monitoring an American
political campaign and, later, a U.S. presidential administration. To do so, it invoked daunting foreign-counterintelligence
surveillance powers, based on a fever dream that its bête noire, Donald Trump, was an agent of the Kremlin. And
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court recently chastised the FBI for feeding it false and unverified information —
the secret court apparently calculating that this extraordinary public expression of wrath will divert attention from its own shoddy
performance in approving highly intrusive spy warrants based on sensational, blatantly uncorroborated rumor and innuendo.
DOJ
Is Infected With Organized Crime, Trump Has Every Right To Push For Change, In Fact It's His Sworn Duty. It is
painfully obvious the Department of Justice is infected with organized crime, awash with Obama infiltrators, only intent on
maintaining power, not dispensing justice to those they don't agree with or those they see as political enemies. The
Roger Stone affair is all the evidence you need of that. Their shame,, and primal fear, is also obvious in their
discomfort with Donald Trump tweeting, in other words, getting his message direct to the American people, away from the
corrupt media filters. Trump needs to keep doing just that. It is his right, no it is his sworn duty, to uphold
the Constitution and its guarantees to the American people, something the Democratic Party and its media enablers have long
since cast aside as a priority. We need a full investigation, and a full accounting of what happened at DOJ and what is
still going on. If William Barr can't put out the fire, or can't stand the heat, we need to find another fireman.
Who's
complaining about investigations now? Attorney General William Barr is looking into the murky origins of the
politically-charged Justice Department investigations that have roiled American public life for the last three years.
Just how did the FBI's "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation into the 2016 Trump presidential campaign get started? What
led the FBI to look into whether President Trump was working on behalf of Russia? Why did the Justice Department use an
ancient, never-enforced law as a pretext to interrogate then-national security adviser Michael Flynn, leading to one of the
most troubling court cases in recent years? And more. Each investigation involved highly publicized leaks that
led to many headlines and endless discussion on cable TV. Anti-Trump voices stood firmly in support of more and
more detailed inquiries of the president and his allies.
Andrew
Weissmann: AG Barr Is Starting New Investigation into Fired FBI Officials Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok.
Little crooked man Andrew Weissmann told Chuck Todd today [2/16/2020] the new investigation initiated this week by Attorney General Bill
Barr involving US Attorney in St. Louis Jeff Jensen is a ruse to investigate Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok. On
Friday [2/14/2020] Attorney General Bill Barr assigned an outside prosecutor to review the abusive case against General Mike Flynn.
Barr also assigned a handful of prosecutors to review other cases in the US Attorney's office in DC.
Top
Mueller Prosecutor Says DoJ Starting New Investigation Into Comey, McCabe, and Strzok. An interesting twist is
arising from the decision of Attorney General Barr to name an outside counsel, Jeffrey Jensen, to investigate the Michael
Flynn case. The former top prosecutor on special counsel Robert Mueller's team says the ploy by Barr is a "ruse" so
that the Department of Justice can open a new investigation into former FBI officials James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and Peter
Strzok. Andrew Weissmann, a former Justice Department official who was known as Mueller's "pit bull" during the Russia
investigation, says that "all they did was swapped out a loser case for starting an investigation that is going to be of
Comey, McCabe, Pete Strzok," Weissmann told MSNBC host Chuck Todd. "Weissman is referring to the "loser" case of
prosecuting former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for lying about media leaks during the Russia investigation.
Top
Mueller prosecutor: DOJ starting new investigation into James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and Peter Strzok. One
of Robert Mueller's former top prosecutors said the outside prosecutor picked to review the case against retired
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is a ruse to investigate President Trump's perceived enemies. Andrew Weissmann, a
former Justice Department official who was known as Mueller's "pit bull" during the Russia investigation, said the Justice
Department swapped out the "loser case" of Andrew McCabe, who escaped criminal charges on Friday for allegedly lying to
investigators about authorizing media disclosures, for a fresh one targeting top former FBI officials, including McCabe, led
by Jeffrey Jensen, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri. "All they did was swapped out a loser case
for starting an investigation that is going to be of Comey, McCabe, Pete Strzok," Weissmann told MSNBC host Chuck Todd.
Lindsey
Graham asks DOJ for interviews with 17 officials in FISA abuse investigation. Sen. Lindsey Graham
requested "transcribed interviews" with 17 Department of Justice and FBI employees as part of the Senate's investigation into
abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The South Carolina Republican sent a letter requesting the
interviews to Attorney General William Barr on Friday [2/14/2020]. Graham is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee
and is heading the congressional investigation into the FBI's investigations into the Trump campaign in 2016.
The
FBI Corruption is Far Worse Than We Currently Imagine. Last month the DOJ admitted to the FISA court that two
of the four FISA warrants used against Carter Page were fraudulently obtained. [...] However, what the DOJ did not admit
publicly was how the current FBI Chief Legal Counsel, Dana Boente, participated in obtaining the April 2017 warrant.
Additionally, a review of the internal FBI & DOJ scheme to obtain the fraudulent April warrant shows FBI Director James Comey
couldn't get the renewal unless he convinced Main Justice to trick the President into issuing an executive order to grant
surveillance on himself. In hindsight this story explains the ongoing issues within the FBI.
House
Republicans Rebuke FBI Director Wray for Tepid Response to IG Report. House Republicans unleashed on FBI
Director Christopher Wray about the bureau's lackluster response to the [serious] problems uncovered in the DOJ Inspector
General's report on FISA abuses, according to the Washington Times. At a House Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday,
Wray claims he went "above and beyond" to provide accountability and made more than 40 changes to the bureau's FISA policies
and practices. "The failures highlighted in that report are unacceptable — period," he said. "They
don't reflect who the FBI is as an institution and they cannot be repeated."
Key
witness told Team Mueller that Russia collusion evidence found in Ukraine was fabricated. One of Robert
Mueller's pivotal trial witnesses told the special prosecutor's team in spring 2018 that a key piece of Russia collusion
evidence found in Ukraine known as the "black ledger" was fabricated, according to interviews and testimony. The ledger
document, which suddenly appeared in Kiev during the 2016 U.S. election, showed alleged cash payments from Russian-backed
politicians in Ukraine to ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. "The ledger was completely made up," cooperating
witness and Manafort business partner Rick Gates told prosecutors and FBI agents, according to a written summary of an April
2018 special counsel's interview.
How
Democrats' Get-Trump Crusade Has Irreparably Damaged The Nation. The FBI's malfeasance in the launch and
handling of Crossfire Hurricane provides the starkest example of damage wrought without regard to the ramifications.
Americans no longer trust the world's premier law enforcement agency because of men like James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and
Peter Strzok, and women like Lisa Page. They no longer believe in equal justice under the law, or the integrity of
sworn affidavits and judicially authorized surveillance. Current FBI Director Christopher Wray has promised a clean-up,
but that likely won't be enough either for the public or for the FISA court. And it is the damage in the eyes of the
FISA court that risks much more than the faith Americans place in law enforcement agencies — it puts at risk the
lives of Americans. The FISA courts exist not for political warfare, but to combat terrorism.
Trey Gowdy on the FBI: The Bureau
Was Out to Get the President. On Fox News Thursday, erstwhile South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy
fired upon former Federal Bureau of Investigations Director James Comey and 2016-2018 FBI Deputy Director Andrew
McCabe. Trey told host Martha MacCallum the deeds of top FBI officials was sufficient evidence to suspect they were
"out to get" Donald Trump. [...] The host noted Trump's reference to the salvation of Comey's firing, founded upon the idea
that it was he who allowed such a culture in the Bureau to grow. Gowdy agreed, with an expansion: "Yeah, I would
correct the President's narrative only to this extent: He replaced Comey with McCabe. That is hardly moving up
the draft board. It was only when Chris Wray came in that I think you had a dispassionate, objective,
law-enforcement-centered person. McCabe was no better than Comey."
Now Let's Get Down To Business.
[Scroll down] Each time President Trump came close to declassifying the material someone from the DOJ intercepted the
anticipated action and blocked the release. In the fall of 2018 it was DAG Rod Rosenstein. In the summer of 2019
it was AG Bill Barr. Amid the twists and turns many people have forgotten about the material congress asked President
Trump to declassify two-years-ago. Additionally there has been some material cited that just seemingly slipped away
without follow-up. Consider:
• Whatever happened to the forty pages of Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe text messages that Catherine Herridge noted nine months ago? Herridge only published four of the pages in March 2019.
• Why are the Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages still redacted two years after their original release (December 1st, 2017)?
• Where's the release of the Susan Rice inauguration day memo to the file?
• Why didn't the DOJ/FBI release all of the Bruce Ohr 302's without redaction? Will those fully unredacted 302's be part of the IG report release?
• Where's the unredacted David Archey FBI declarations that were previously ordered to be released by a DC judge?
• The Mueller investigation ended 10 months ago. Why are we still not able to see the unredacted three authorization memos that Rosenstein gave to the special counsel on May 17th, August 2nd and October 20th, 2017?
Corruption
Coverup — Nadler Schedules FBI Oversight Hearing With Chris Wray on Same Day as Impeachment Vote.
[C]ould House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler be any more transparent with his intentions here? Knowing all eyes will
be on the Senate impeachment vote at 4:00 pm on the same day, Democrat Chairman Nadler schedules the House oversight hearing
on FBI (FISA Misconduct) for 10:00 am Wednesday, February 5th, to bury it. FBI Director Christopher Wray
has not been scheduled to face any questioning or public scrutiny by any legislative oversight body since the Inspector General
report highlighted gross corruption and FBI misconduct in the December 9th, 2019, FISA report. Additionally, the DOJ/FBI
response to the demands of the FISC were also extended to February 5th. The corrupt institutions, and the administrative
state that surrounds them, are working overtime to avoid any exposure and national discussion about misconduct that should alarm
everyone. Why? Because they targeted Donald Trump... So, bury it.
As
Impeachment Ends, It's Time to Correct These Nine Injustices. [#5] Reform the CIA and the FBI. We've learned
in the last 3-4 years that both the CIA and the FBI participated in the Russia collusion hoax even after it was known to be a
hoax. Where were the whistleblowers? One answer is that these two powerful agencies don't rotate their officials
the way the military does. Keeping the same power-players working together for decades creates fertile ground for
conspiracy. They learn each other's secrets and come to depend on a kind of "omerta" to their mutual benefit. A
few fresh faces will keep these power players more accountable as they will never know whether the new guy will "play ball."
The
FBI Has Been Lying About Seth Rich. A persistent American lawyer has uncovered the undeniable fact that the FBI
has been continuously lying, including giving false testimony in court, in response to Freedom of Information requests for
its records on Seth Rich. The FBI has previously given affidavits that it has no records regarding Seth Rich. A
Freedom of Information request to the FBI which did not mention Seth Rich, but asked for all email correspondence between FBI
Head of Counterterrorism Peter Strzok, who headed the investigation into the DNC leaks and Wikileaks, and FBI attorney Lisa
Page, has revealed two pages of emails which do not merely mention Seth Rich but have "Seth Rich" as their heading. The
emails were provided in, to say the least, heavily redacted form.
Preventing Another 'Crossfire Hurricane'. Sometime
this year, the U.S. Attorney for Connecticut, John Durham, will probably have a grand jury issue indictments of some of the
"Crossfire Hurricane" leaders. Among them will likely be former FBI agent Peter Strzok, former FBI deputy director
Andrew McCabe, and former FBI director James Comey. He may also indict some of the CIA's current and former leaders
including Obama's CIA director John Brennan and current CIA Director Gina Haspel (Brennan's protégé) who ran
the overseas elements of "Crossfire Hurricane." However many of the "Crossfire Hurricane" team are indicted, and
whether or not they are convicted, their indictment will shake the FBI (and, we hope, the CIA) to their cores. The
indictments will have the effect of dissuading further secret investigations of presidential campaigns but even that effect
will not be permanent, nor will they prevent another "Crossfire Hurricane" from ever happening again.
Codes of Conduct From the Swamp.
[A]pparently our country's intelligence community was out to put the clamps on Mr. Trump even before he was
elected. Slowly we are finding out that, for instance, FISA warrants included warrants that were illegal. We are
finding out that these agencies were eavesdropping on Trump and his aides. Conservatives always defended the CIA and
FBI against career civil libertarians. Now we are finding out that these agencies were used against President Trump and
his people. What did the Trumpians do to antagonize the intelligence community? Do the heads of these agencies
really think that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin? I have not seen the evidence. A two-year
investigation conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller could not find the evidence either. So let us come up with
the evidence that will convince Americans that, as John Brennan, formerly of the CIA, has said, Trump's behavior was
"treasonous." Treasonous? The evidence?
Grassley
Letter Asks Whether Taxpayers Paid Russian Agent To Help Start The Collusion Hoax. On Wednesday [1/22/2020],
Sen. Chuck Grassley's office released a letter he penned to James Baker, the director of the Office of Net Assessments
for the Department of Defense. Grassley's letter ostensibly concerned fiscal oversight, but the details revealed by the
finance committee chair raise new concerns about FBI confidential human source Stefan Halper. Grassley's letter began
with a recap of his previous record requests, noting that in July 2019, the chair had requested "all records related to
Professor [Stefan] Halper's contracts with DoD." Grassley then highlighted several revelations discovered during the finance
committee chair's review of those documents, including various weaknesses in Halper's various proposals.
Sharyl
Attkisson Speaks Out. There are many books, TV shows, and movies about once-revered FBI agents portaying them
as heroes. But after revelations concerning Donald Trump, Richard Jewell (accused of the Atlanta Olympic bombing), and
well-respected journalist Sharyl Attkisson, people might be reconsidering. Maybe FBI should stand for Fear, Beware, and
Intimidate, while DoJ, the parent company, should stand for Department to Obstruct Justice. Granted, many do their jobs
well, but the leaders at the top are definitely suspect to having an agenda.
The Comey
coverup unravels. In a curious report on Thursday evening [1/16/2020], the New York Times carefully averts its
eyes from everything that's interesting. Even Adam Schiff has acknowledged that James Comey's actions in 2016 may
represent the most important and significant Russian influence on the election. Surely one of the most consequential
pieces of intelligence ever received by U.S. agencies was, as we now learn, received in early 2016 from a Dutch
counterpart. This is the dubious Russian intelligence that set off Mr. Comey's multiple interventions in the last
presidential race, culminating in an improper act that may have inadvertently elected Donald Trump. Even at the time
Mr. Comey's FBI colleagues considered the intelligence, which indicated questionable actions by the Justice Department
to fix the Hillary email investigation, to be false, possibly a Russian plant.
Former
Senior Treasury Financial Crimes Official Pleads Guilty To Leaking Records of Cohen, Manafort, Gates, Butina and
More. CTH noted last year when John Fry, an intelligence analyst with the IRS's law enforcement arm, was
arrested that something more was happening in the background of his case and the DOJ case against Natalie
Sours-Edwards. Today Ms. Sours-Edwards pleads guilty to downloading & distributing the financial records of people
connected to the Trump orbit. You might remember back in May 2018 when sketchy porn lawyer Michael Avenetti was
releasing U.S. Treasury notifications on Michael Cohen received from an unknown source within the Treasury Department.
You might also remember when New Yorker's Ronan Farrow wrote a sympathetic article after talking to the leaking treasury
official. As a result the Treasury Inspector General began an investigation.
Christopher
Wray Isn't the Right Man to Fix the FBI. The nation's most powerful law enforcement agency is in shambles.
Following a series of internal investigations, in addition to extensive reporting on the misconduct of former top officials, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation is suffering a crisis in confidence from the very people it has a sworn duty to protect:
the American public. Considering its behavior over the past four years, one could be forgiven for thinking that the FBI
exists only to serve the interests of the political aristocracy. From the Clinton email server cover-up to the unfounded
counterintelligence probe into four Americans working for the Trump presidential campaign and the corruption of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act, the FBI has exploited its power to defend partisan allies and punish foes.
Spy
Court Picks FISA Abuse Denier To Tackle FISA Abuse. The nation's top spy court appointed an Obama-era Justice
Department official who has denied and downplayed FBI surveillance abuse to assess the FBI's response to a scathing new
report cataloguing problems with how the agency secured authority to spy on a Donald Trump campaign affiliate. Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) presiding Judge James Boasberg appointed David Kris to review the FBI's proposed
changes to its surveillance application process even though he spent the past few years running interference for the FBI as
substantive criticism of the agency mounted.
Revealed:
Identity of top FBI official who leaked secret information to media. The name of a former top FBI official who
leaked sensitive information over the course of hundreds of communications with at least six reporters can be revealed by the
Washington Examiner. His identity is contained in a 21-page report obtained through a Freedom of Information Act
request. The report reveals that investigators for Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz determined
that Bryan Paarmann, 53, the deputy assistant director of the FBI's international operations division from 2016 to 2017,
"improperly disclosed court-sealed and law enforcement sensitive information to the media" in violation of FBI rules.
The incident is one Horowitz included as part of what his June 2018 report called the FBI's "culture of unauthorized media
contacts." A one-page summary of the investigation was released last May.
Attorney
General William Barr, 'Adult of the Year'. Few people in the country today have demonstrated deeper insight
into Spygate, the investigation into those who have been investigating the elected president of the United States, than
Kimberley Strassel. In her column I detected a genuine note of alarm. Is it possible that the investigation of
the investigators could be brought to an end? Could the media render Attorney General Barr or prosecutor John Durham
suspect? Will they uncover an incriminating telephone call? How long can the Democrat-controlled House mire these
men in one of their investigations? Is it possible that the whole finely-tuned investigation overseen by the attorney
general will come to a grinding halt because of Democratic subterfuge? Well, I do not think it is likely, but it is
possible. As Ms. Strassel writes, the evidence against the FBI has steadily accumulated.
Redeeming the
FBI. Due to the actions of a few, the overall trust of the American public, previously enjoyed by both agencies
is arguably at an all-time low. Tinfoil hat folks excepted, the general public has always extended the benefit of the
doubt to FBI agents in the performance of their duties. This deference was hard-earned by investigators and prosecutors
who made the thousands of prominent cases that forged the Bureau's reputation. The misuse of their positions has
already cost the malefactors their jobs. Whingeing over treatment at the hands of those that hurt their feelings only
brings further discredit to the organization that once employed them. [...] I understand that there will be a period of
mistrust that follows the clear breaches committed by a small percentage of the organization. Please don't let their
deeds permanently undermine your faith in the FBI.
It's
Statistically Impossible For The FBI's Spygate Errors To All Be Mistakes. [Scroll down] There's no way
the cards can all fall one way, no way every "mistake" can redound in support of the government's "case" against Page.
There's no statistical way every single oversight, clerical error, unchecked box, unread file, misplaced document, unread
email, uncorroborated assumption, unverified assertion, omission of exculpatory evidence, and inclusion of false allegations
can all fall against Page, and in favor of the FBI's goal of providing probable cause to convince the court to believe he was
an agent of a foreign power. There's no way 17 glaring omissions, mistakes, mischaracterizations, and straight-up lies
can make their way, undetected, unquestioned, and uncorrected, through the now-legendary labyrinth of supervisory coordination,
from line agents to Woods Procedures to FBI supervisors to DOJ reviewers to FBI counsel, FBI deputy director, FBI director,
DOJ general counsel, deputy attorney general, and attorney general certification.
Does
William Barr Have the Guts? The recent I.G. report on FISA abuse was just another in a very long line of
disappointing indicators that equal justice may never be restored to our nation. [...] Is this guy Barr for real? Is he
ready to face the hellfire that will be unleashed if he takes real steps to hold coup conspirators accountable? It's
looking increasingly likely that he is for real, but what remains to be seen how far he is willing to go. [...] The first
question to be answered is exactly how far Barr needs to take it. If you ask MAGA country, they're calling for heads up
to and including Obama's. This is doubtful and certainly not prudent because the political and systemic repercussions
would be devastating and permanently destabilizing for the USA. [...] Care must be taken to avoid the precedent of high-level
political war. Otherwise, we'll morph into a banana republic in less than a generation. Ultimately, justice needs
to be done, so a compromise must be made.

An
FBI Analyst Is Going to Prison for Illegal Email Hacking of a Political Enemy...to Protect Mueller. While U.S.
Attorney John Durham continues his criminal investigation into FISA abuse and other misconduct at the FBI, CIA, DIA and other
federal government intelligence agencies, one of Special Counsel Robert Mueller allies was just sentenced to prison.
Mark Tolson, a former FBI analyst, illegally accessed the emails of right wing activist Jack Burkman in order to protect
Mueller. He admitted to doing so in federal court last week. He will serve seven days behind bars and has been
ordered to pay a $500 fine. "I did what I did to try to protect Director Mueller, who can protect himself," Tolson told
U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema. After illegally sifting through emails, Tolson attempted to leak them to the press.
Dan
Bongino Explains Why the Unmaskings Left Little or No Paper Trail. Everytime I watch a Dan Bongino podcast, I
learn something new about Spygate. I hear information that I find nowhere else and I spend hours everyday
reading/watching the news. Recently, Bongino interviewed Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) whose investigative work,
particularly in 2018, (along with that of John Solomon and Bongino) did so much to uncover the activities of the FBI in 2016.
During the interview, Nunes said that, at a certain point during their investigation, he and his team began to track Bongino
because they couldn't believe the information he managed to obtain. Nunes said his team would receive classified
information and Bongino would be simultaneously telling his listeners the same thing. Anyway, recently the New York
Times reported that U.S. Attorney John Durham has turned his attention to former CIA Director John Brennan. Durham
has requested Brennan's communications records from the CIA and is said to be looking into various testimony he has
given — possibly searching for discrepancies.
FBI
Director Wray Responds to the FISA Court's Statement and Shows It's Time for Him to Go. Earlier today
[12/17/2019], the FISA court released an extremely rare public statement in which they addressed the findings of the recent
IG report. In it, they laid out the gravity of the misconduct, with the court taking issue with the lies and omissions
put upon them by the FBI. While there may be a bit of blame shifting here (the FISA court should have been more skeptical
from the jump), there's no doubt the lion's share of the issue was they were given incomplete and sometimes false information
to make judgements with. [...] Now, the FBI has responded via their own statement written by Directer Christopher Wray.
GOP
Sen. Hawley: The FBI Interfered in the 2016 Election. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) on Thursday
appeared on "Fox & Friends" and reacted to the Department of Justice's inspector general report by Michael Horowitz. [...]
What's worse: is it worse to have a foreign government trying to interfere in our election or is it worse to
have our own government? Because that's what the FBI did," Hawley advised.
Our Elites
Don't See What's Coming. [Scroll down] This all leads us to a serious problem that we as a country are
facing: we've been losing trust in our institutions for quite some time. All that the last few years have done is
to reinforce that kind of thinking. Seriously. Ask yourself: Do you really trust the FBI? I don't.
With the recent reports from Michael Flynn's attorney, Sidney Powell, apparently senior FBI agents tampered with 302s, falsifying
information to get the results they wanted which had nothing to do with the truth. This was the FBI —
supposedly the world's greatest law enforcement agency. I don't think so. Until those senior officials go to
jail for their abuse of power my distrust of the FBI will continue. Do you really trust the Justice Department?
Maybe. I'll see what Attorney General Barr and John Durham pursue and actually accomplish. I can assure you,
however, if there are not prosecutions with jail time, scratch that institution off the list. The CIA?
Forget about it. Congress? You mean the inept worthless institution that sits on its hands and has ceded
massive control of the lawmaking function of government to the administrative state? I have to tell you:
is there really a point to Congress in its current form?
Mittens,
the Deep State, and the Ongoing Coup Against POTUS. Recently, one of my email pals sent me an incredible
opinion piece from Howell Woltz at The International Centre for Justice, in Warsaw, Poland. He is the author of
"Justice Denied: The United States vs. the People," a very interesting book about the US justice system and federal
prisons and the need for some serious reform. Occasionally, an opinion piece is so profound that it simply MUST be
disseminated to a much wider audience than a simple blog post. This is one of such article. In this commentary,
he opines on the DoJ/FBI cabal's ongoing coup against POTUS while explaining some key connections among John Brennan, Mitt
Romney, Cofer Black, Burisma Holdings (Ukraine), Bararck Obama, Hillary Clinton, and all the rest. It fills in a lot
of gaps and explains much about what is going on with respect to the Ukraine kerfuffle. While I can't vouch for the
veracity of all the claims here, this just rings true to me and connects a lot of very interesting dots. As usual, I
caution you to "trust but verify."
The
Only Way to Save the FBI Is to Expose Everything. The big news in what was a relatively big news day
[2/14/2019] was made by fired Acting Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe in snippets from a forthcoming interview on 60
Minutes. McCabe — the man who somehow couldn't recall what the words "insurance policy" referred to in one
of his texts — was promoting a new book he somehow managed to write despite his faulty memory. In the midst
of this, he confirmed what many of us long suspected — that he and other major officials (Rod Rosenstein, etc.) of
the FBI and the DOJ contemplated, even attempted to some degree, a coup d'état against the president of the United States.
The Gangster State. [Scroll down]
This becomes more obvious when looking at the whole criminal enterprise that is currently called the FBI. There's no question
that the people at the top engaged in a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy to spy on the Trump campaign and engineer a criminal
investigation of his administration, for the purpose of removing him from office. This is the one explanation that
explains the mountain of evidence piled up in the public domain. This is so obvious that no one bothers to deny
it. Instead, the game is to avoid discussing it in public. Lurking in the secret FBI files can be only three
possibilities, with regards to this conspiracy. One, there is proof they cooked the whole thing to help get Hillary
Clinton elected. The other is some out of left field explanation for the mountain of data, that points to an innocent
motive. The final option is a massive hole in the system where the damning proof used to exists, but has now been
destroyed as part of the cover-up. To date, the FBI and DOJ refuse to comply with Congressional subpoenas to answer
this question.
Federal
prosecutors interviewed multiple FBI officials for Russia probe review. Federal prosecutors who are looking
into the origins of the government's Russia probe have interviewed about two dozen people, suggesting that the inquiry is
further along than previously known, The New York Times reported Saturday [10/19/2019]. The prosecutors have asked
witnesses about whether former FBI officials that have been frequent targets of President Trump hold anti-Trump bias, former
officials and others familiar with the review told the Times. U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is leading the
investigation, has not interviewed all of the FBI officials who were instrumental in opening the Russia probe in 2016,
sources told the newspaper.
We've
lost sight of the real scandal. What will Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's latest
investigation reveal? Will Congress hold hearings about it? Will former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe
actually get indicted? After all, it's said that a motivated prosecutor can "indict a ham sandwich" if he really wants
to. We're so wrapped up in the daily tick-tock, we could be losing sight of a big picture that's come into focus over
the past two years. For the first time in our nation's history, an inspector general — one appointed by
President Obama — has determined that at least two men who sat in the top spot at the FBI committed multiple
violations that warrant possible prosecution. That in itself is a scandal with national implications deserving of
headlines, congressional hearings and promises to overhaul a broken system. Of course, the complicating factor in the
whole mess is that the government entities responsible for addressing any wrongdoing are the same ones inextricably tied to
the alleged wrongdoing.
Chris
Wray's FBI continues to cover for Team Comey's Russia shenanigans. The FBI is going to court to fight the
public release of a small number of documents the State Department sent to agents from Christopher Steele, the British
intelligence operative and Hillary Clinton-paid political muckraker, during the 2016 election. Normally, such Freedom
of Information Act cases don't merit public attention. This one does. To hear the FBI tell it, the release
of former Deputy Assistant Secretary Kathleen Kavalec's documents is tantamount to giving up the keys to President Trump's
nuclear briefcase, aiding the enemy or assisting terrorists.
Meadows:
'There's a Cover-up Within Certain Realms at the FBI'. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), in an interview on
"Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo," touched on a wide range of issues including the investigation by Justice
Department (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the potential testimony before Congress of former special counsel Robert
Mueller, the release of new documents this week, and whether people in the FBI and DOJ will be held accountable. About
the investigation by Horowitz into alleged FISA abuse, Meadows said that he expects the report to be delayed. "Only
Michael Horowitz knows the exact timeframe of when it's coming out. Obviously, the attorney general had indicated that
he hoped to see it in June. I'm not as optimistic now. And one of the reasons for that is additional information
has been given to the inspector general for them to investigate," Meadows said.
